Saugatuck, Michigan's featured Beach towns, Saugatuck and Douglas are known as "The Art Coast of Michigan". Artists, smitten by the natural beauty of the area’s rolling grassy dunes and white sand beaches (among the top 25 in the world according to Condé Nast International Travel Magazine), have taken up residence and established studios and galleries. These, along with unique shops, fine dining, exquisite lodging, special events and many attractions like golfing, dune rides, boat cruises, hiking, swimming, professional summer theatre, jazz and chamber music, lure visitors from far and wide.  At the same time, Saugatuck and Douglas have maintained the charm of small-town rural America.
