Welcome to South Haven, your own special haven.
It’s where relaxation and connection to your true self begins. Natural beauty awakens your senses at South Haven’s seven public beaches, abundant bike paths, scenic water trails, and fresh farm markets. Million dollar sunsets play backdrop to a majestic lighthouse. For over 100 years, she’s stood the test of time to welcome you back to her shores. In 2015, the Historical Association of South Haven asks for your help in restoring her to her original beauty. To ensure the lighthouse will be here for your children and grandchildren, consider making a donation at southhavenlight.org.
History comes to life in South Haven’s historic Maritime District. Whether you stroll across or sail beneath the newly renovated Dyckman Street Drawbridge, you’ll appreciate how it’s connected South Haven’s downtown to the historic north side for 150 years. The Michigan Maritime Museum is also in the heart of the maritime district, and is home to the replica tall ship, Friends Good Will and Lindy Lou. To buy tickets or plan a visit to the educational campus, exceptional exhibits, and multiple on-the-water experiences; check out michiganmaritimemuseum.org.
