Muskegon is home to the largest beach in Western Michigan, and the coastline serves as a major attraction for locals and visitors alike. The city takes pride in keeping the beaches clean and pet-friendly, and boating and fishing are very popular here as well. Believe it or not, a small but dedicated community of surfers takes full advantage of the Lake Michigan wave action in Muskegon.
There’s an abundance of outdoor activities year-round, with Michigan’s Adventure amusement park in the summer and Muskegon Winter Sports Complex offering everything from luge to cross-country skiing when it gets cold. The city contains several landmarks celebrating the area’s history as both a lumber region and a maritime center.
The arts and culture scene incorporates the Muskegon Museum of Art, Broadway musicals at the Frauenthal, and performances by the West Michigan Symphony Orchestra.
