Separating The Harbor from Grand Haven's sandy beaches, observers stroll along the pier and lighthouse while enjoying one of Lake Michigan's beautiful sunsets.


Grand Haven's Harbor is bustling with recreational boaters enjoying the Lake Michigan waters.


The U.S. Coast Guard cutter, the Mackinac, parades through the Grand Haven Harbor where she takes up port for the duration of the annual Coast Guard Festival.

Grand Haven hosts the annual Coast Guard Parade which makes its way along the main street of the down town area and through nearby historical, residential neighborhoods.  Bring your blankets and lawn chairs.  This "grand parade" keeps up it's pace in excess of 2 hours.
