5 of the BEST Small Towns in Michigan

St. Joseph

Tucked away in the corner of Southwest Michigan is one of the state’s best beach towns. St. Joseph is home to two popular beaches — Lions Beach and Silver Beach, both of which are located on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Traverse City

Known as the Cherry Capital of the World, Traverse City might be one of the most well-known destinations in Michigan.

Beaver Island

Beaver Island may be the largest island in Lake Michigan, but that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to get to.

Mackinac Island

There is no other place in Michigan — or perhaps even the United States — quite like Mackinac Island. This tiny island, just 8 miles in circumference, is a preserved Victorian masterpiece in many respects.

Marshall

Tucked away in the heart of rural, Southern Michigan is the town of Marshall. While it would be easy to pass this city as you travel westbound along I-94 toward Battle Creek, you would be missing an opportunity to experience the rich architectural history of Michigan.
