Michigan's Lake Michigan Coast parks

Also the views, sunsets, never ending recreation staying in GH SP CG and the area are multi-million dollar features for all and you don't even have to drive your vehicle if you don't want to as there's the very cheap trolley system and a few dozen Harbor Transit busses or use the bike trails or beach walking or a magnificent long extremely popular boardwalk that goes .7 miles to downtown and beyond all the way along and across the river on the paved wide multi-use non motorized system to and thru Spring Lake and over 160 miles of paved excellent bike trails that even go all the way south to Holland too. No slums at all in the entire area of approx 70,000 residents and only 2.9% or less unemployment and safe, virtually crime free, no beggars, and very friendly 24 hours a day for all because it's so family oriented, clean, and caters to visitors and they love it. What more could anyone want for a place to call home for just a few days or forever? Like living and being in a virtual 5 star resort and it's "home" without draining your wallet! Why else do you think so many come here every year after year after year and then their kids do the same when they get older and/or have a family. The so many reasons speak for themselves!

BTW, Sept 16-18th 2016 is the annual Salmon Festival at the waterfront. A huge tent with live entertainment and livations and serving specially prepared varieties of Lake Michigan Salmon meals created by many different local and guest gourmet chefs. At the Municipal Marina. Just one of 7 large festivals here each year and the biggest is the US Coast Guard Festival last week of July till the first Saturday in August and 400K to 500K attend each year from all over the USA. Grand Haven is the original official Coast Guard City USA as was signed into law by the US Congress and the President. The US Coast Guard National Festival has been a yearly event held here for over 90 years now. Incredible non-stop fun and constant events!
