It sounds like you’re diving into the unique roads along the southern Michigan coastline! It’s fascinating how, even though Lake Michigan’s shoreline is a major draw, the actual roads and towns are often set back from the lake itself.

If you’re interested in exploring these areas, the mix of natural landscapes and picturesque communities provides a totally different vibe from what you’d expect along more well-known beach destinations.
