Saugatuck has long claimed boasting rights as one of the most stunning destinations in the country and a breathtaking setting for a corporate retreat. Now it’s official. Conde Nast Traveler has named Saugatuck one of “The 26 Most Beautiful Towns in America.” The ‘tiny hamlet,’ the publication wrote, “is nestled among the sand dunes on the east coast of Lake Michigan, making it a playground for sunbathers, kayakers, and dune buggy-riders. It’s a favorite among Chicagoans for its close proximity—about a two-hour drive—and impressive art scene, not to mention a wealth of wineries and travel-worthy restaurants.”
“We are so honored to be recognized among this impressive list of beautiful American towns,” says Lisa Mize, executive director of the Saugatuck Douglas Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Saugatuck is very beloved to visitors who come back year after year as well as our residents who call it home. Our miles of gorgeous Lake Michigan shoreline, award-winning beaches, charming downtown main streets, and stunning dune landscapes truly make the Saugatuck Douglas area a must-visit beautiful destination.” saugatuck.com
