Probably going to get a bit of pushback on this…😬🙄 Do you agree though?! 🤷🏼♂️
BUT we’ve decided after flying in and visiting the main tourist islands here in Michigan, that Beaver Island, is really the “sweet spot” as far as islands go here in the Great Lakes! 🍭🏝️
Beaver island has a GREAT mix of space to roam, a variety of stores, great amenities and restaurants for when you want it…without having to wait an hour and 45 minutes to get in, like a nearby island 🙄🐴
If you haven’t a plane, there’s NO landing fees.
The FBO and airport is NICE!
You can camp at the airport, for FREE.
THE PEOPLE here are so darn friendly. Everyone waves. 👋🏼
My new friend Marshall (and follower of this page) stopped us as we were riding our E bikes back to the airport, to introduced himself and say hi, and then he gave us HIS map of the island so we could better tour around! 😭🚲
Our other friends who also flew in, Bill and Trish, took us to lunch in their car and gave us a nice tour of their property and then offered for us to stay there!
If you haven’t been to Beaver Island, you should definitely go this fall. 🍁🍃
Hands down, a beautiful place and WONDERFUL experience. 🙌🏼
