About this place:

On the southern Michigan side of Lake Michigan, beaches and sand dunes rule. Saugatuck's Oval Beach is one of the largest spans of pure, fine beach sand I've ever seen. Even the nearby blacktopped parking lot can't fight off the constant drifts that overcome it.

According to saugatuck.com, Saugatuck's Oval Beach has been rated by Conde Naste's Traveler Magazine as one of the 25 best shorelines in the world. MTV has ranked Oval Beach as one of the top five beaches in the country.
