Neighborhoods

Small beach town with a slight bohemian vibe. Grab a sandwich at Shipwreck or rent a surf board from Sleeping Bear Surf & Kayak. The playground at the beach is awesome for the little ones.

It's busy here in the summer but worth the stop. Take in the view as you drive through the "narrows" (between Big & Little Glen Lake) into town. Walk between shops looking for the perfect gift or grab a coffee from Leelanau Coffee Roasting Company and relax for a minute.

Leland (aka "Fishtown") is a must-see when visiting the county. Don't miss the shopping in the old shanty town and definitely grab a sandwich or some gourmet cheese from the Village Cheese Shanty!
