Paradise

Paradise has a name that makes one think that they are heading to a tropical locale, where palm trees might dot the white sand beaches. Paradise Michigan, however, is quite the opposite — it’s a beautiful town that offers breathtaking views, but it’s situated on the daunting Shipwreck Coast of the Upper Peninsula.
