South Haven, MI

We left Saugatuck on 28 August and arrived at South Haven Municipal Marina. We stayed here for three nights, awaiting a good weather window to cross to Chicago.

South Haven is a neat town with plenty of stores, restaurants, and just about anything you would need. As always when close to a town, we explored the town and got a feel for the layout of the area. In doing so, we found a wonderful bakery that we determined would be where we would have breakfast on Wednesday. The pastries were fresh and delicious! There is also a café attached that serves traditional breakfast, but the pastries are what lured us into this place. As many of you know, Mike has never seen a bakery that he didn’t fall in love with, and with Cathy from XPLORER just about as bad, we were destined to visit this place more than once, so yes, we ate breakfast there again on Thursday! Here we are outside the bakery.

On Wednesday evening, all “Loopers” who were staying at South Haven Municipal Marina had happy hour before heading to Clementine’s for dinner, which is a popular restaurant in South Haven with good surroundings and good food. The restaurant is housed in what was once a Citizens Bank building, built in the late 1800’s, as are many of the buildings in the downtown area. South Haven is a beautiful little town, and was one of our favorite stops on the Lake Michigan coast. We would definitely like to stop here again. Next stop Chicago.
