LAKE MICHIGAN Beach GUIDE
LAKE MICHIGAN beach GUIDE Pictured: Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore LAKE MICHIGAN beach GUIDE THE GREAT LAKES (AND BEACHES) STATE Michigan is home to some of the most incredible, unique landscapes that are rare to find all in one state. There aren’t many states you can name off the top of your head that are home to several thriving cities, forests, rolling hills, waterfalls, farmland, and our favorite—fresh water beaches. We may be a bit biased to the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan in particular) as a brand marketing company located in Grand Rapids, but we believe that Michigan’s western coast is by far one of the best features of our state, and even the country. TO PROTECT AND TO TAP OUR CREATIVITY As a certified B Corporation, TIS is a group of creatives with a triple-bottom-line mentality (people, planet, profit)—so Lake Michigan is especially important to us. First and foremost, the lakes and dunes are one of our most significant natural resources in Michigan, and we are dedicated to protecting these natural landscapes by treating them with respect and care. Just as important, the lake is a place we retreat when we need to recharge, to seek inspiration, to reflect, to tap into our creativity, and to simply relax and let go. Lake Michigan beaches are the most picturesque spots to do so. PUTTING THE FOCUS ON THE BEACHES Because we’re so partial to Lake Michigan, we wanted to spread the love and appreciation by creating this beach guide for you to use time and time again. -
