Things To Do
Holland State Park - Beach Parking
This is the beach where Zane proposed. At this beach you can soak up some rays and walk along the pier. You can also check out the Big Red Lighthouse. If you are interested there are also options to rent out paddle boards, jet skis, boats etc.
Tunnel Park
Another great beach to check out. To get to this beach you’ll need to climb a couple of stairs or walk up the sand dune. Once you reach the top you can get a 360 view of Lake Michigan.
Mount Pisgah Dune Boardwalk
If you are looking to be active Mt Pisgah has over 200 steps of stair way to climb. Once you reach the top of this one you can see Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan. There is also a trail that you can take into the forest.
Captain Sundae
One of our favorite ice cream shops. They are known for their sundaes like the Tommy Turtle but my favorite is the Beach Bum. They also have an 18 hole course of mini golf that you can play while enjoying your delicious dessert.
West 8th Street
There are so many things that Downtown Holland 8th St has to offer. We highly recommend walking downtown to check out the cute shops/boutiques, restaurants and bars. Some of our favorite restaurants are New Holland Brewing, Mizu Sushi, and Butch's Dry Dock. Around this time the Holland Farmers Market is also open Saturday mornings near the Holland Civic Center.
Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant
We love coming here for dinner. It is near Lake Macatawa and Kollen Park. If you come here during the right time you can also catch a beautiful sunset. It can get pretty packed during this time of year but you can always grab a drink and enjoy the view while you wait.
Deboer Bakkerij
This is our go to spot for breakfast. We absolutely love their pigs in the blanket. Their sausage wrapped in a buttery flaky crust is so delicious. If you want a breakfast place this is it. They also just opened a second bakery shop right next to our venue.
De Klomp Wooden Shoe & Delftware Factory
Holland.Org said it best: Visit this double Dutch delight where you can talk with the artists as they mold, hand-paint, and glaze the only authentic blue and white delftware made in the U.S! Or watch the wooden shoe carving on machines that were imported from the Netherlands. Take a walk in the factory and shop for authentic Dutch souvenirs.
Macatawa Golf Club
To all my golfers out there that want to hit the links! There are also a lot of other golf courses to choose from around the area that you can also check out.
Itty Bitty Bar
Don’t be fooled by the exterior of this dive in bar. The food here is excellent! They are most known for their burgers but I always end up trying something new from their menu and end up enjoying it.
Saugatuck, MI
Just a 20 minute drive away from Holland we recommend checking out the Saugatuck, MI area. We suggest checking out the shops downtown, Mount Baldhead, Oval Beach, Saugatuck Dune Rides and various restaurants on the lake front downtown!
