Fun morning coffee walk: Leave from either hotel, Delamar or Bayshore and walk the path along West Bay through Clinch Park Marina and cross at Union Street. Pass the Visitors Center, and head to Good Harbor Coffee, (111 W. Front Street) for the best bakery treats and coffee in Traverse City! Sip your coffee and stroll down Front Street, checking out some of our favorite shops. When you’re done with your stroll, take the Cass Street tunnel (located in the parking lot behind Front Street) to Clinch Park Beach and make your way back to the Delamar.
Miles of sandy beaches, gorgeous hikes with bluffs that give spectacular views of Lake Michigan and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. A 35-minute drive from downtown Traverse City. Visitor Center located in Empire!
Our favorites: Bowers Harbor Vineyard, Bonobo, Brys Estate Vineyard and Winery
Mission Point Lighthouse has been a Traverse City and Old Mission Peninsula icon for decades. Located at the north end of a picturesque drive along M-37 through cherry orchards and vineyards, Mission Point Lighthouse stands as a classic piece of Michigan history.
