Tourism

The Forgotten Coast is maybe a little misleading. We are known to a lot of people. Our sandy beaches, our walkable small towns, wildlife, boating, and other natural attractions have all contributed to a strong and vibrant tourism economy. But, because we are not on an expressway, we are often not on anyone's radar. 

Port Austin, at the very tip of the Thumb area, is home to one of the top ten farmers markets in the state, bringing in 2-3,000 people on an average Saturday morning, (who gets up on a Saturday morning, right?) and on a holiday over 10,000! Harbor Beach with one of the greatest man made harbors, Lexington with it's almost New Englandy charm is just a stones throw from millions of people in the Detroit metro area.

Michigan’s Forgotten Coast offers a new residents opportunity to capture a market, a place to experiment out of the glare of the "big city", and some really sweet real estate deals. Just sayin...

So…come up and visit, see if we are a good fit for you. We think you are, but don't take our word for it, see for yourself. 

Michigan’s Forgotten Coast…not for much longer!
