You have to try this place just for the shrimp. Flown in daily, they have awesome shrimp dinners, both fried and steamed. Pricey though - come early and do the special. Crazy retro 70's decor.

Start at Park Ave. to see the Lighthouse and beach, then follow along the lake shore to find the "Mushroom Houses" of famed architect Earl Young. The Weathervane along the channel is also his.

If you have time, and you like hiking, beaches, wildlife, etc. take the ferry (2 hrs) from the harbor to Beaver Island for a day/overnight. Great beaches, quaint restaurants, quiet. Bikes are best.
