Welcome
Saugatuck and Douglas are harbor villages that celebrate diversity – small-town
America at its best! Here visitors can turn back the pages of time to enjoy a simpler
life where no one hurries, and no one hurries you. A place where everyone is special
and everyone is welcome. Recently the National Trust for Historic Preservation
selected Saugatuck/Douglas as one of the “Dozen Distinctive Destinations” in the
U.S. and the writers and editors of Midwest Living magazine ranked Saugatuck/
Douglas fifth among the top 100 vacation destinations in the Midwest.
While visiting either downtown area, you can walk – in a safe and friendly
environment – to almost everything. In Saugatuck, you can stroll along the
boardwalk admiring the boats and explore the dockside shops. Picnic by a
gazebo overlooking the harbor then ride the Victorian hand-cranked ferry to visit
our historic museum or climb Mount Baldhead. You can rent a canoe, paddle
board, kayak, charter a sailboat or tour our waterways onboard an old-fashioned
sternwheeler or WWII amphibious “Duck.” End your excursion at the corner drug
store soda fountain where hand-creamed sodas and malted shakes have been a
specialty for more than 100 years!
Just across the river, Douglas is the perfect place to explore historical buildings
such as the Old Schoolhouse, Dutcher Lodge, the library and various churches
and residences which have been restored to enhance their 19th century charm
while still serving our community. Shopping in downtown Douglas is a pleasure
too, whether you’re looking for fine art, home accessories, retro collectables, or
hard to find children’s toys and rare books. Douglas is also home to the area’s first
microbrewery, a do-it-yourself Art Barn and West Michigan’s largest Antique
Pavilion. Shop a little, eat a little, relax a lot.
For over a century, artists have been drawn to the area’s towering dunes, pristine
beaches and natural splendors of this jewel-like setting on Lake Michigan’s eastern
shore. Today that artistic heritage persists through strong ties to the Art Institute of
Chicago with its affiliated summer school at Ox-Bow as well as a broad spectrum
of art galleries and art-based activities and events. Consistently named one of
America’s top 25 arts destinations, it’s no wonder the area has become known as
“The Art Coast ™ of Michigan”!
You’ll find great lodging options in modern, privately-owned motels, cottages,
suites and charming retro auto courts. Or, if you prefer a country inn, our “Bed
and Breakfast Capital of the Midwest” offers an extensive variety of historic
accommodations. Regardless of your preference, travelers are always treated like
friends of the family!
Golf enthusiasts can hit the links at one of our two 18-hole championship golf
courses while the kids take sailing lessons or an art class. And don’t leave without
taking the family on a thrilling dune buggy ride! Blending so many attractions you
can easily create your own “masterpiece” vacation.
It’s easy to understand why Michigan’s governor named Saugatuck one of
Michigan’s 19 “Coolest Cities.” The town’s Oval Beach is ranked one of the top 25
beaches in the world by Condé Nast Traveler and one of the top two in the USA by
National Geographic Traveler. More recently, the Chicago Tribune rated it number
one out of the Midwest’s five best beaches and USA Today readers voted us the #1
Weekend Getaway in the USA.
Saugatuck Center for the Arts provides uptown theatre in downtown Saugatuck
all summer long. Cultural performances, classes and workshops abound there
year ‘round. Our Chamber Music Festival and frequent jazz concerts highlight a
topflight eclectic music scene. Through the Lakeshore Arts Alliance community
theatre blossoms. Outdoor art shows, gallery openings and culinary events add
extra spice to the Saugatuck/ Douglas recipe for fun.
Our lakeshore community offers a place to rest or play
any time of the year. Whether you come for an executive
retreat, a corporate meeting, a family reunion or your own
romantic getaway vacation, you’ll be glad you discovered
the treasure that is Saugatuck and Douglas. See you soon!
Sincerely,
Felicia V. Fairchild, Executive Director

The Art of Being Saugatuck/Douglas
I
8 | Saugatuck/Douglas Visitors Guide
n Saugatuck, Michigan, art is far more than an aspect of cultural
enrichment, more than a source of passive entertainment. In Saugatuck
and Douglas, art is life.
Both Saugatuck and Douglas celebrate the belief of Gustave Flaubert
that “Art has no other end, for people of feeling, than to conjure away
the burden and bitterness.” Where else could one find public restrooms
painted with post-impressionist Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on
the Island of La Grand Jatte?
Setting this tone is the natural environment. Saugatuck and Douglas
are nestled near the shore of Lake Michigan and are defined by steep,
rolling dunes to the west and lush, green orchard country to the east. The
climate is blessed by the moderating effects of Lake Michigan. The lake’s
cool breezes provide welcome refreshment on warm summer days, while
during the winter it warms the frigid air sweeping into Michigan from the
northern plains.
It was to this idyllic setting that Chicago residents started escaping in
the 1900s. As they arrived, they found a village that was already entering a
second life. Saugatuck, and a sister community down the Kalamazoo River
called Singapore, were settled in the mid-1800s by lumber interests. For
many decades they supported a thriving mix of sawmills, planing mills,
barrel factories and other wood product firms. The area contributed much
of the lumber used to rebuild Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871.
When the trees were gone, however, so were the lumbermen. Several
mills were actually loaded aboard Great Lakes schooners to be transported
elsewhere. The dearth of trees resulted in a particularly harsh fate for
Saugatuck’s down-river neighbor. Without their presence as a windbreak,
blowing sand gradually buried the village and today it lives on only in
legend as the “Lost City of Singapore”.
Saugatuck and Douglas survived, however, and their 19th century
architecture legacy forms the basis for the area’s quaint charm today. The
resort trade which had begun to emerge in the 1890s took a propitious turn
in 1910 when a group of Chicago artists established the Summer School
of Painting on Ox-Bow Lagoon in Saugatuck.
Today, Ox-Bow is affiliated with the Art Institute of Chicago and offers a
wide range of summer course work, including metalsmithing, printmaking,
performance art, glassblowing, writing, ceramics, and of course, painting
and drawing. The seed planted at Ox-Bow has flourished over the years.
The area’s reputation as a sanctuary for artists is nationally known and
has led to its status as the “Art Coast™ of Michigan” and one of the top
25 art destinations in the USA.
Saugatuck and Douglas were two of only 28 communities nationwide
to be awarded the “Preserve America Community” designation by the
White House and the Historic Preservation Caucus of the U.S. House
of Representatives. More recently the National Trust for Historic
Preservation elected Saugatuck/Douglas to its prestigious list, the “Dozen
Distinctive Destinations” in the U.S.
The art of relaxation, the art of recreation, the art of learning, and the art
of nature. All these are dimensions to the art of being Saugatuck/Douglas.

The Art of Relaxation
10 | Saugatuck/Douglas Visitors Guide
The two resort towns of
Saugatuck and Douglas
are nestled among
towering sand dunes,
and are bordered by the
winding Kalamazoo
River on its way to Lake
Michigan. Activities
abound making this area
the perfect place to relax
and decompress!
For more than 100 years, tourists have sought refuge from the stress of
everyday life in the Saugatuck/Douglas area – a peaceful place where no one
rushes and no one rushes you.
Today the area’s ability to act as a natural tranquilizer is especially
important in relieving the high anxiety caused by maddening traffic jams
and hectic work schedules. Visitors to these neighboring resort towns can
leave their tensions and stressful schedules behind. They can mellow out in
surroundings reminiscent of vintage, small-town America, whose hallmarks
are scenic beauty and a unique collection of shops, restaurants and art galleries.
For those who want to mix relaxation with excitement, the area offers a yearround calendar of fun-filled activities and events (saugatuck.com). No wonder
The National Trust for Historic Preservation designated these towns as one
of the nation’s “Dozen Distinctive Destinations”; why Budget Travel ranked
them among the top four “Coolest Small Towns in America”; and why readers
of USA Today voted Saugatuck the number one weekend getaway in the US.
The two towns, nestled among towering sand dunes, are bordered by the
winding Kalamazoo River on its way to Lake Michigan. Activities abound on
the two waterways. Both towns maintain public beaches on Lake Michigan for
swimmers and sunbathers. Saugatuck’s Oval Beach has been rated by Condé
Nast Traveler magazine as one of the 25 best shorelines in the world and one
of America’s 11 great beach towns. National Geographic Traveler magazine
agreed, rating it one of the top two freshwater beaches in America. More
recently, the Chicago Tribune ranked it number one among the Midwest’s
five best beaches and Life magazine judged it “Best Dune Town”. The newlyacquired Saugatuck Harbor Natural Area extends opportunities for hiking,
bird-spotting and sun-basking along this idyllic, unspoiled coastline.
A number of scenic city parks – two of them adorned by Victorian style
gazebos – dot the riverside. They are unhurried spots where you can spend
the day picnicking, reading or watching the sailboats slip by.
An old-fashioned sternwheeler paddle boat shuttles passengers on tours
of the river and along the Lake Michigan shoreline. These water-bound
excursions are punctuated by cottages, extravagant homes, forests, wetlands,
soaring bald eagles, a panorama of dunes, and the Ghost Town of Singapore.
Visitors can enjoy an even more leisurely boat ride by hopping aboard
North America’s only hand-cranked chain ferry for a trip across the river or
board a WWII “Duck” that provides ferry service between Saugatuck and
Douglas. Strolling along a winding boardwalk offers another impression of
the river – home port to some 900 yachts and sailboats. Anglers can charter
boats to go after salmon, trout, pike and perch. Those who want to make their
own waves can rent boats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, jet skis, pontoons,
and charter sailboats or yachts.
Back on dry land, the adventuresome can climb 302 steps to the top of
the Mt. Baldhead sand dune. For their heart-pounding effort climbers are
rewarded with a stunning bird’s-eye view of the harbor and lake below.
Another aerial view is in store for visitors who take a freewheeling ride on
a converted pick-up truck, known as a “dune schooner”, across some of
the towering sand hills. Back on level ground, the area has one private taxi
service plus the Interurban bus. Both offer visitors hassle-free, door-to-door
transportation. Bicycles – both motorized and self-pedaled – and scooters are
available locally for rental.

Also enjoy the trails at Allegan State Game Area. The trails provide skiers with a choice of distances from
2-14 miles and are fully marked with direction-change arrows and reassurance markers.
Autumn also invites visitors to sample the fruits
of labor from area berry patches and orchards in the
rolling countryside. They can even taste the fine
wine made by local vintners or sample artisan wines
from around the world in a fine art gallery setting.
Or enjoy farm-fresh pies at a local cider mill.
As fall leaves drop ushering in winter, Saugatuck/
Douglas decks itself out in the spirit of Christmas
by blanketing both downtowns with an array of
twinkling lights which become the backdrop for a
festive parade and a homespun rendition of Charles
Dickens’ A Christmas Carol which rounds out the
wintertime entertainment schedule. Winter is also
the time for invigorating cross-country skiing and
cozy themed weekend packages promoted by area
Bed & Breakfast Inns.
Year ‘round, Saugatuck/Douglas is the place to
unwind and mellow out – no longer just for Midwest
tourists. Increasingly, the town’s fame as a “stress
buster” is enticing visitors from around the world. S/D

Golfers can hit the links at two 18-hole
championship golf courses, one designed by golfing
legend Arnold Palmer. For those wanting oldfashioned exercise, a number of rental businesses
offer canoeing or kayaking and horseback riding.
Equestrian instruction and horse boarding are also
available in the area. Fitness enthusiasts can work
out at our local gym or take a closer look at the
area’s natural beauty with a hike through Saugatuck
Dunes State Park, Saugatuck Harbor Natural Area,
Allegan State Forest, or by touring local vineyards.
Culinary tours are available in both downtowns
and throughout the countryside, led by local tour
operators. Pamper those aching muscles at area
spas or retreat to the peace of our yoga center.
For arts enthusiasts, the region boasts more
than 35 art galleries, a chamber music festival
and “uptown theatre in downtown Saugatuck”
throughout the summer at the Saugatuck Center
for the Arts. There are also year ‘round professional
concerts and performances, plus a farmers’ market
in-season on Fridays. The Lakeshore Arts Alliance
highlights local talent and community theatre. Both
arts venues provide numerous opportunities for
hands-on creativity, lectures, concerts and other
artistic programs. The public is also welcome to
visit Ox-Bow, a summer school affiliated with the
School of the Art Institute of Chicago on Friday
nights throughout the summer, where students and
staff open their studios for salon-style showcases,
demonstrations and auctions.
Saugatuck’s summertime events include art fairs,
goldsmithing demonstrations, art gallery events, a
Fourth of July Parade and Venetian Festival that
concludes with a lighted boat parade and fireworks.
Late in the summer, the area’s restaurants create
their culinary best at the annual Savor The Art
Coast (formerly Taste of Saugatuck). For those who
prefer shopping as an activity, both villages offer a
charming mix of 19th century architecture and 21st
century merchandise. There are clothing, jewelry,
gift, antique and home accessory shops galore. Area
businesses run the gamut, from Douglas’ exclusive
interior design shops to Saugatuck’s galleries and
fashion boutiques.
Hungry visitors have no problem finding a
restaurant to suit their tastes. The area is home to
well over two dozen eating establishments, serving
continental, Greek, American, Mexican and Italian
specialties. There are several area coffee shops and
a variety of ice cream, pastry and fudge shops to
satisfy the proverbial sweet tooth.
Tourists are treated to the same diversity when
it comes time to bed down for the night. They can
choose from hip, retro designed auto-courts, motels,
hotels, resorts, cottages, vacation rental condos and
homes, and Bed & Breakfast Inns. With more than
30 bed and breakfasts in operation, the area has
become renowned as the “Bed & Breakfast Capital
of the Midwest.”
Exclusive to autumn are make-your-own color
tours of the area’s forests, the 39th Annual Gallery
Stroll, several open house weekends by Blue Coast
Artists, the Halloween festivities and one of the
largest corn mazes anywhere!

14 | Saugatuck/Douglas Visitors Guide
Saugatuck & Douglas function as a
hub-and-spoke for experienced and
inexperienced bicyclists, kayakers,
canoeists, paddleboarders, hikers,
surfers, birders, fishing enthusiasts,
geocachers, poets, photographers
and artists.
The Saugatuck Dunes are part of the largest assemblage of freshwater
dunes on our planet. Created by glaciers thousands of years ago, they have
been gracefully sculpted ever since by the contest of prevailing southwest
winds, crashing waves, and freeze-and-thaw cycles with the stabilizing
effects of stubborn and resilient native vegetation. The mountainous heaps of
silvery-gold sand are ever-shifting with elemental forces that gradually build
up, violently scoop out and blow down these dramatic parabolic dunes.
The Saugatuck Harbor Natural Area, which borders Oval Beach (holder of
many global “Best Beach” honors) was recently nominated in a competition
for the 8th Wonder of the World on the heels of being designated as one of
the eleven most endangered ecosystems in America by the National Trust for
Historic Preservation.
The Kalamazoo River’s harbor mouth, altered to aid 20th Century boat
navigation, still survives as a natural greenway, much as it would have
appeared to the native Potawatomi people five centuries ago. Towering
above the scenic river channel loom forested dunes, the tallest of which, Mt.
Baldhead, was the setting for Potawatomi ceremonial gatherings.
Early European settlers cleared and built directly on the Lake Michigan
shore, but after cutting down the trees (primarily to rebuild Chicago after the
1871 fire), they were forced to flee the site as the untethered sand literally
buried the once-thriving lumber town of Singapore.
Birders celebrate Saugatuck’s dunelands as a well-trafficked stop on the
migratory tropical bird flyways. Sixty-seven of the over two hundred locally
spotted bird species have a special status as rare, threatened or endangered
including the Prairie Warbler which relies on one of the last stands of healthy
Jack Pine trees for survival. Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Northern Harriers, Black
Terns, Piping Plovers, various owls, hawks and entertaining waterfowl
frequent these coastal waters and marshes.
Fishing here is terrific! Some 102 varieties of fish live in the waters of the
river and in Lake Michigan our “freshwater ocean.” Grill your catch at Oval
Beach overlooking Lake Michigan after a thrilling day of charter fishing for
king salmon or lake trout. Or just relax with a worm and a hook and snag some
sunfish or blue gills with the kids.
Since before the dinosaurs, the shy lake sturgeon have hidden in this river,
too. Some are over a century old and eight feet long. Once counted by the
millions, the few surviving sturgeon are slowly being restored to their coastal
habitats. New Richmond’s sturgeon breeding station, a few hours paddle
upriver, makes a great family outing. Independent float trips and guided kayak
excursions begin there and end in Saugatuck Harbor. You can also paddle one
direction and bike another to access the scenic countryside. Bring your own
gear or rent everything you need from a local outfitter.
Serious speed cyclists have a choice of routes including the old West
Michigan Pike (Blue Star Highway-Route 31). The history and culture
associated with the Pike played an important role in the development of
tourism along the lakeshore. It was the first continuous hard surface road
between Chicago and Mackinaw City and opened West Michigan to
automobile tourism beginning in 1912. The West Michigan Pike corridor
will certainly stimulate “nostalgia” travel as Michigan’s version of Route 66.
The road meanders along the lakeshore passing through the area’s emerging
historic strip with its hip retro designer Motor Inns, vintage diners, large
antique pavilion, historical markers and one of the last Red Barn Theaters in
the U.S. By foot, bike or waterway, explore on your own the web of paths,
back roads and water trails which ramble along the lakeshore and its tributaries
that converge in the Saugatuck-Douglas area. Trails pass by vineyards,
U-Pick orchards, microbreweries, local farm produce stands, artists’ studios,
horticultural nurseries, berry plantations and scores of nature preserves and
state parks. The Pike is perfect for those who savor history at a leisurely pace
with lots of stops along the way. If you prefer, leave the navigating to a local
expert and enjoy a guided culinary tour or behind-the-scenes art studios tour.
Saugatuck & Douglas function as a hub-and-spoke for experienced and
inexperienced bicyclists, kayakers, canoeists, paddleboarders, hikers, surfers,
birders, fishing enthusiasts, geocachers, poets, photographers and artists, to
find a place to design the perfect masterpiece vacation. Hiking across sand
dunes to a world-class beach, paddling along the Lake Michigan Water Trail,
geocaching at Ox-Bow Lagoon, hiking Fishtown Trail, biking the Blue Star
Trail, sledding down Mt. Baldhead or snowshoeing and skiing cross-country
through Saugatuck Dunes State Park, Oval Beach or the Allegan State Game
Area...Saugatuck-Douglas is an all-season natural environment for an actionpacked vacation in the Great Art-Doors. S/D

Exploring Fine Arts
Brought together in one
building, Saugatuck/
Douglas' artwork and
artists would rival any
major metropolitan
gallery. But they are
not in one building;
rather, they must
be sought out in the
nooks and crannies of
these charming rural
villages.
16 | Saugatuck/Douglas Visitors Guide
The inspiring beauty of the Saugatuck area has attracted both practitioners
and patrons of the fine arts for over a century. The proliferation of galleries,
artist’s studios, street art fairs and many diverse do-it-yourself art opportunities
have built its reputation as the “Art Coast™ of Michigan.” From lively clusters
of downtown galleries to the secluded campus of Ox-Bow School of Art and
the intriguing array of studios dotting the countryside, what distinguishes this
unique creative enclave are its enormous breadth and world-class quality.
The catalyst for the performing arts is the Saugatuck Center for the Arts,
which provides a year ‘round, ever-changing, variety of cultural performances,
classes and workshops by various artists for children and adults. From the
humorous to the sublime, classical to contemporary, provincial to universal,
the art experiences found in the Saugatuck/Douglas area offer connoisseurs of
creativity a delightful artistic escape from everyday life.
As you enter Saugatuck via Lake Street you will discover Indian Summer,
a unique art gallery exhibiting authentic Native American art and jewelry, so
popular with collectors. In the heart of Saugatuck, high-style contemporary
crafts, wearable art, furniture and fine art await the visitor at Good Goods,
a gallery housed in a restored Victorian boardinghouse. Two blocks north
Discovery Art Center features area artists who work in a variety of media.
Only a few storefronts away you will come across the Janice Miles Gallery,
featuring original bucolic watercolors by this charming British artist.
Next to the Village Square Park, the venerable Armstrong DeGraaf
International Fine Art Gallery promotes the work of noted international
painters and sculptors. On Butler Street, Saugatuck Gallery features
affordable paintings from around the world. Centrally located on Butler Street
is the James Brandess Studios & Gallery; this extremely popular artist can be
observed right in the front window as he lays on the thick impasto of a new
oil painting or portrait in his signature style. Around the corner on Hoffman
Street, Koorey Creations – a third generation goldsmithing gallery – presents
handcrafted custom jewelry set with unique gemstones, original art and
goldsmithing demonstrations throughout the year.
Over the bridge in Douglas is J. Petter Galleries, housed in an elegantly
restored historic building on Blue Star Highway. Here one finds original
paintings, bronzes and garden sculpture – both indoors and outdoors – by
nationwide artists. Visitors can also enjoy tasting artisan wines on the premises
as well. Downtown Douglas on Center Street, Button Gallery represents
more than 20 artists – both regional and national in reputation – in media
including acrylics/oils, ceramics, sculpture, glass, mixed media and more.
On Center St., one block west of the traffic light on Blue Star, LaFontsee
Galleries features exceptional contemporary art in all mediums from more
than 70 artists. On Center St. in downtown Douglas, Water Street Gallery
showcases contemporary fine art, paintings, glass and sculptures of more than
60 accomplished regional and national artists.
The diversity of the global cultural experience is reflected by the Saugatuck/
Douglas area’s specialty galleries. Amaru Leather, one of the area’s longest
standing and most popular craft galleries, is located on Griffith Street in
downtown Saugatuck. It is a craft gallery concentrating on custom creations
in leather by two resident designers. Across the way on Culver St., Amazwi
Contemporary Art features colorful paintings, extraordinary sculptures and
fine crafts from Africa.
Located just north of Saugatuck on Blue Star, you’ll find Marcia Perry
Sculpture Studio, an intriguing nature-lover’s environment featuring sculptures
hewn from trees and stone, carving workshops and the annual Goddess Show.
Southeast of Saugatuck, a little farther out in the countryside, visit Khnemu
Studio on Fernwood Farm where artist Dawn Soltysiak creates her uniquely
beautiful pottery in a pastoral country setting, and hosts ceramic workshops
in her solar-powered barn. On the road to Fennville, the Peachbelt Studio and
Gallery is housed in an historic red brick one-room schoolhouse circa 1867
surrounded by farms, fields and orchards. Here artist Dawn Stafford creates
brilliantly colored floral, still-life, landscape and other oil paintings. Also an
area-wide cooperative called Blue Coast Artists sponsors popular open houses
several times a year in participating artists studios that dot the countryside.
There are also opportunities – particularly fun on rainy days – for visitors
and families with children to create their own art at Express Yourself Art Barn,
Ox-Bow and Saugatuck Center for the Arts.
Brought together in one building, Saugatuck/Douglas’ artwork and artists
would rival any major metropolitan gallery. But they are not in one building;
rather, they must be sought out in the nooks and crannies of these charming
rural villages that have not sold out to the homogeneity of modern times. This
makes exploring the Art Coast™ of Michigan a delightful treasure hunt. S/D

The Art of Shopping
If there is such a thing as an art of shopping, this is where it should be
taught. This is a retail community that celebrates quality, variety and above
all, personality. The shops of Saugatuck/Douglas are almost audacious in
their individuality...they engage one’s senses from every angle.
Proceeding from the south end of Butler Street in downtown Saugatuck,
you’ll find rare spices from around the world, fabulous high fashion shoes,
posh French apparel with exquisite hats, French soaps, assorted Judaica, and
bath salts from the Dead Sea. Clothing stores abound for every gender and
generation from fashionistas to the jet-set yachting crowd. There is a drug
store for everything you forgot and left at home and a humorous sign shop
to help you remember next time. Going north on Butler Street, you’ll come
across rare books, the finest preserves and salsas from Michigan’s northern
fruitlands, outlets for tasting local wines, and the go-to-source for Michigan
made apparel for outdoor enthusiasts. Foodies can still find precision
culinary tools, cookware and truffle oils at the Butler Pantry’s new location
on the north end of this main street.
For the inveterate shopper, Culver, Griffith, Mason, Main and Hoffman
Streets also yield a variety of goods such as a tasting room for imported
olive oils, locally blended and roasted coffees, an indulgent dog boutique,
whimsical resort wear, cosmetics and accessories – some that actually
change color in the sunlight, difficult to find oil lamps, artisan leather crafts,
fine jewelry and several sassy gift shops. Exploring Saugatuck’s side streets,
nooks and crannies unveil a myriad of goods to tempt the enthusiastic shopper.
One block west on Water Street, visit the whimsical Dockside
Marketplace on the boardwalk overlooking the harbor. Here shoppers can
find quirky gifts, home and garden accents and exuberant shopkeepers.
There are many fascinating shops all along Water Street specializing in fair
trade products, beachwear, custom jewelry, exquisite natural stone beads,
and retro collectables.
It’s a pleasure to shop and dine in the village of Douglas just a half-mile
east of Saugatuck. Visitors will find an exceptional collection of diverse
20 | Saugatuck/Douglas Visitors Guide
shops, world-class artists’ galleries and an exquisite wine bar specializing
in exclusive wines from small private vintners. The ever-evolving historic
downtown, on Center Street, is lined with appealing store fronts, fine art
and craft galleries, several of the area’s most popular restaurants, gourmet
cookies and a trendy espresso bar where you arrive as a stranger and leave as
friend. Visitors will find eclectic merchandise featuring gifts, artisan jewelry,
antiques, retro furniture and architectural salvage in addition to home decor
and decorative appointments. Look for beautifully framed art prints, unique
children’s toys and a dozen titles of Sabuda’s renowned and hard to find
pop-up children’s books. When leaving Douglas, en route to Oval Beach
via Center Street, don’t miss Just Add Water, a beach shop selling or renting
everything you need to be “in,” “on,” or “around” the water.
Traveling a half-mile south on Blue Star Highway, serious collectors will
find West Michigan’s largest antique mall and the area’s first microbrewery
and restaurant where visitors can take a tour and actually brew their own beer!
Nearby there is a hobby shop specializing in collectable miniature trains.
Those wishing to explore nature’s bounty will discover West Michigan’s
largest blueberry farm where the harvest ripens in August – shoppers can
buy freshly picked blueberries or pick their own. Close-by, gardeners will be
captivated by two highly regarded local nurseries – complete garden centers
– in serene settings where they can search out rare botanicals, garden decor,
furniture, statuary and horticultural supplies, tools and equipment.
The finest professional services abound in the area, including local banks
with ATMs, numerous real estate agencies offering services for renting,
buying or selling local cottages, condos and homes, top-flight attorneys,
financial advisors and accountants, beauty salons and health care providers
for both humans and their pets, masseurs, chiropractors, yoga instructors
and alternative treatment practitioners.
In a retail world increasingly dominated by “bigness” and “sameness,” the
shops of Saugatuck/Douglas are ready to provide a memorable experience
which will reveal the heart of this community’s ebullient personality. S/D

The Culinary Arts
22 | Saugatuck/Douglas Visitors Guide
True to its tradition
of offering diversity,
Saugatuck/Douglas
boasts a wide variety
of restaurants
certain to meet any
visitor’s appetite,
taste and budget.
Dining in Saugatuck/Douglas is a study in choices. True to its nature of
offering diversity for every aspect of a visitor’s stay, our area serves up a
veritable buffet of dining establishments.
Upscale dining, reflected by both setting and menu, is available in the
Saugatuck/Douglas area. Exquisite American contemporary cuisine is the
fare at the Belvedere Inn and Restaurant which offers sophisticated dining
prepared by European chef/owner Shaun Glynn in an elegantly restored
mansion.
Casual dining in a lovely Gatsby-era atmosphere is offered by Ravines Golf
Club at their course-side restaurant, Arnie’s Cottage, in view of breathtaking
fairways. Looking for casual dining with a touch of flair? Coral Gables
overlooks Saugatuck Harbor and features a deck, multilevel verandas,
several lively bars, entertainment, a dance club and live comedy at their prime
waterfront location. Nearby, The Butler Restaurant, a longtime favorite with
locals, famous for its big burgers and awesome shrimp Bloody Marys, also
offers great music in-season outdoors by the harbor on their expansive deck.
The Mermaid Bar and Grill, on the waterfront in downtown Saugatuck, is
the perfect place to “people” watch and enjoy an excellent lunch or dinner al
fresco in-season—try the mussels! Nearby, gather at Borrowed Time for a sip
of wine, craft beer and innovative small plates while watching the passersby
along the river.
Scooter’s Café and Pizzeria offers an array of hand tossed pizzas and Italian
specialties—bring the family or enjoy their cozy bar. Pumpernickel’s Eatery
specializes in hearty breakfasts in cast iron skillets, giant cinnamon rolls, NYC
deli-style sandwiches and casual lunches with live music in-season. For a
light breakfast, go where many locals go for delicious home-baked goods and
outstanding lattes and coffees, Uncommon Grounds. No resort community
would be complete without its soda fountain and Saugatuck Drug Store has
preserved the tradition of old-fashioned hand-creamed sodas and phosphates
for more than 100 years—featured in the New York Times, it’s a must-see!
Phil’s Bar and Grille is our local “Cheers.” It’s an upscale tavern with a
bistro touch—try the lamb lollipops or broasted chicken. The Sand Bar Saloon
dubbed “the friendliest bar in town” is the place to go for pub grub and blues.
Hercules Bar and Grill provides that perfect “one-of-a-kind” experience
where classic dishes are expertly prepared by the lead chef – intimate courtyard
garden dining is available weather permitting – try the Chicken Marsala. For
the sports enthusiast, Spectators Sports Bar & Grill serves up great food and
sporting events with 25 TVs and live dance music on the veranda in-season.
Head over to explore Douglas! At the Petter Wine Gallery, you’ll find
boutique wines and artful foods at both the wine/small plates bar and wine
shop, also known for its private collection of unique cheeses and hand poured
chocolates. Downtown on Center and Main Streets, in a convivial galleria,
Everyday People Café serves a creative menu of “eclectic comfort food” with
suggested wine pairings. The atmosphere is casual, hip and a real favorite
with locals as well.
On Blue Star Highway and Center Street, you’ll discover J Paul’s at The
Kirby Hotel, an intimate wine lounge and restaurant which merges tradition
and modern style, bringing Michigan’s freshest farm ingredients to the table.
Heading south on Blue Star Highway from Douglas, you can order a variety
of hand-tossed artisan pizzas from Pizza Mambo. Just steps away, you will
discover Farmhouse Deli, specializing in farm-to-table culinary creations,
“par excellence.” Tucked away just south of Randolph Street is WayPoint
Restaurant, serving home-style breakfast and lunch, just like Mom used to
make – bring the kids! A little farther south you will find Christo’s Roadhouse,
which is the stop to make for a mouth watering burger with a butter toasted
bun – yum! Saugatuck Brewing Company is where you can savor the latest
home-brewed beers and wonderful cuisine outside under an umbrella or
indoors close to the tap.
In Fennville – just seven miles east of Saugatuck – you’ll come upon Salt
of the Earth, a rustic American eatery & bakery specializing in fabulous
and unique, fresh local farm-to-table fare and terrific live music. Visit Root
Coffee House to enjoy espresso drinks and rustic country food made with
fresh local ingredients. Between Douglas and Fennville, Crane’s Pie Pantry
Restaurant is a favorite destination for its orchard-fresh pies, apple cider and
home-cooked, child-pleasing meals. Culinary adventurers can even sign up
for Hungry Village Tours and go behind-the-scenes at local specialty and
organic food, beer and wine purveyors. An insider’s gourmet insight. S/D
