Wonderful Day at the Beach
We had a great time for a spur of the moment trip. There is plenty of benches to sit on if you tire during a walk. The peir was wonderful and I cant wait to plan a trip and be more prepared to go and spend more time

Thank Heaven for Grand Haven
I have been going to Grand Haven for over 30 years now and I hope to go for 30 more. I love walking the pier from one end to the other and walk through the down town shops. When we started camping there the kids were young and now they are taking their young child. I love Grand Haven!!
