Hotels in Port Austin

Paddle a kayak to the curious limestone formation known as Turnip Rock, where centuries of wave action have sculpted nature's own sculpture garden. Downtown Port Austin transforms into an open-air gallery on summer Saturdays when the farmers market showcases local artists alongside farm-fresh produce. After exploring Bird Creek Park's trails, reward yourself with whitefish fresh from Lake Huron at a waterfront eatery. Sandy Dunes Adventure Golf offers mini-golf with actual sand traps – a clever nod to the real courses nearby. For a perfect Michigan sunset, claim a bench at Port Austin State Harbor and watch sailboats return as the sky performs its nightly color show. The Huron County Nature Center provides peaceful forest walks when the beach crowds become too much.
