driving directions

There is something about Saugatuck & Douglas,
Michigan that makes them two of the most gay friendly small
towns in the country. Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender
tourists all find something difficult to define but easy to
recognize, like magic. Best of all, it is everywhere you look.
It's in the world-renowned beaches,
such as Oval Beach in Saugatuck. Nestled
between the refreshing waters of Lake Michigan
and our gorgeous sand dune forest, our pristine
beaches provide days of sun and sport, breathtaking
sunsets, and evenings of delight and wonder.
It's in the shops and restaurants. With
over 120 gay owned and gay friendly business, the
shopkeepers and staff are proud to be among the
most welcoming of gay friendly travel destinations.
So many unique shops, galleries and restaurants
options to choose from, you can find just about
anything your heart desires, and some things you
can't find anywhere else.
It's in the arts. We're called the "art coast of
Michigan", and for good reason: no matter how your
tastes run, we have something here for you. We have
world-class galleries, artist studios, and museums. The
world-renowned Ox-Bow art school is here, as well as
summer stock theatre. We host our annual Waterfront
Film Festival every June, featuring independent films
from all over the world.
It's in the people. For decades,
our residents have made Saugatuck
and Douglas Michigan's most gay friendly small
towns by welcoming Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and
Transgender visitors with open arms. We have
GLBT Pride. We are proud of our reputation as
a place where people from all walks of life can
come and find themselves simply by being who
they are.
Most importantly, it's in you. Simply put, we wouldn't
be who we are without the continued support of the Gay,
Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community, and so we work
hard to make your visit as fun and memorable as possible. We
know there are many reasons why you choose Saugatuck &
Douglas Michigan as your gay travel destinations every year,
but there is only one reason why you keep coming back: you're
always welcome here!

Wick’s Park Bar & Grille
“I believe everyone has a place they dream of, a
nirvana, a place where – when you reach it – you
feel it resonate in your soul. The first time I arrived
in Saugatuck-Douglas, I knew this was where I was
supposed to be. Saugatuck-Douglas is an artists’
colony located among Lake Michigan’s towering
sand dunes, and the beaches are stunning, the
summer air humidity-free, the vistas breathtaking.
The towns are a throwback, complete with quaint,
window-boxed cottages, whitewashed storefronts,
and top-notch art galleries and restaurants. The
towns have thwarted the flirtations of big chains,
and remain a resort area free of tackiness. When
you arrive, you’ll feel what I felt, too, because the
towns will resonate in your soul and allow you to
be true to yourself.”

Hear Me Scream, critically acclaimed memoirist and local

TYLER
BYOU
Once a thriving lumber town, Saugatuck-Douglas became
a popular tourist destination in the early 1800s. By 1880,
Chicago and St. Louis natives commonly traveled to the
Saugatuck-Douglas lakeshore to escape the summer
heat, but the area’s true turning point came in 1910,
when artists from the Chicago Art Institute established
the Summer School of Painting on the Ox-Bow Lagoon.
Ox-Bow encouraged a gay presence in Saugatuck and
Douglas, which flourished as gay friendly small towns. In
fact, tourists have warmly nicknamed Saugatuck the “Fire
Island of the Midwest” for its GLBT pride.
