Port Austin
Up North, close by.
Visit Port Austin, the tip of Michigan's Thumb, and be immersed in the best that Lake Huron has to offer: beautiful sunrise AND sunset over the water, sandy beaches and dunes, unique rock formations, fishing and water sport rentals to mention just a few. Gift shops, a top rated farmer's market, a variety of parks, camping, accommodations and visitor 'fun stuff' are all plentiful.
Travel West on M-25 and find the shoreline dotted with parks, beaches and recreational facilities. Turn East and visit historic areas such as Grindstone City, the restored lumber town museum of Huron City, and Lighthouse County Park featuring historic Pointe Aux Barques Lighthouse.
