Lakeshore Towns (Holland, Grand Haven, Muskegon, Zeeland)

A 0.7 mile (one way) hiking trail from the parking area to the Lake Michigan shoreline includes 1,000 feet of stairs up and down the dunes and scenic views. Once you get to the lake, there’s a smaller boardwalk loop that goes by the dunes. 

P.J. Hoffmaster State Park in Muskegon offers lake views that are hard to beat locally (we see you, Sleeping Bear Dunes). There are miles of trails you can choose from to get from the parking lot to the beach, followed by a seemingly endless beachfront you can walk once you get there.
