Road Trip
Michigan’s Thumbcoast is 140 miles of beautiful shoreline along Lake Huron and the St. Clair River on the sunrise-side. What makes this coast so special is the collection of waterfront communities you’ll find along the way. They’re all just a short drive from one another, yet each offers its own charm, history, attractions, shops, restaurants, and waterfront experiences.
Spend the day relaxing at a beach, exploring a small downtown district, watching freighters pass by, enjoying a meal on the water, or taking in the natural beauty that makes this region so memorable. With more than 80 parks and beaches throughout the Thumbcoast, there are countless ways to enjoy the shoreline.
To start exploring, click on the name of any shoreline community on the map at the very bottom. Each community page includes local attractions, things to do, places to eat and stay, and trip ideas to help you make the most of your visit. You can also use our custom Google Map to plan your own road trip and discover points of interest all along the coast.
