Summer Peninsula Getaway Between Two Lakes
Outdoor activities rule the summer season. There are events and concerts almost every weekend that you can track on visitmuskegon.org. The Pidge Inn has kitchens or kitchenettes in most rooms, which allows you to stock up on healthy food at the Farmers Market and make your own meals in the room or on the gas grills. Get up early and watch the sunrise over Muskegon Lake. If you stay in a marina-side room you can see the sunrise from your deck, if you are staying in a patio room, either walk a few minutes or hop on our beach bikes to watch the sunrise from Harbour Towne Beach. Spend the day on the big beach on Lake Michigan, or if the waves are too big, relax at Harbour Towne Beach. During the day you can choose between Michigan Adventure, visiting the local museums, or renting bikes to hit the bike trail all the way around Muskegon Lake. Be sure to end your day with a short walk to the channel and down to Pere Marquette beach to watch the sunset over Lake Michigan. If you haven’t already eaten, get there a little early and get an outside seat at The Deck restaurant and watch the sunset while you eat. Come back to The Pidge Inn before 11 pm on Friday and Saturday, or before 7 on Sunday and you can relax and listen to the live band next door at Dockers restaurant, or visit them for a nightcap.

🌊Life on Lake Michigan & Harbour Towne Beach 🌊

The Pidge Inn is located at the end of a peninsula, surrounded by water. Harbour Towne Beach on Muskegon Lake is 100 yards to the east and Pere Marquette Beach on Lake Michigan is a 10-15 minute walk to the west along the channel which connects the two lakes. The channel forms the end of the peninsula to the north. Right off The Pidge Inn to the south is Harbour Towne Marina. While summer may be the best ‘beach season’, all four seasons offer scenic beauty and activities that continue year-round.

Happy Mother’s Day! 🌺 We hope you get all the rest and relaxation you want/need today!

The Pidge Inn welcomes you! Looking forward to seeing all of our summer visitors and marina friends very soon!
