West Michigan has become one of our favorite parts of the state to explore. Between the Lake Michigan shoreline, huge sand dunes, charming towns, animal adventures, and fun family stops, there always seems to be something new to discover. Some of our favorite memories here include exploring Grand Rapids and Saugatuck, riding the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and finding unexpected stops that made the trip even more memorable..
