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.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
