Welcome to Pentwater, MI – our state’s best kept secret, and one of its most delightful destinations.
Located on the sandy fresh-water shores of Western Michigan, Pentwater is a charming village of boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants, and mast-filled marinas, reminiscent of New England. Perched on the edge of both Lake Michigan and Pentwater Lake, the town serves as one of the best beach destinations in Michigan.
For visitors to the area, Pentwater offers a host of activities for adults and children alike. The lakes and rivers of the region are ideal for fishing, boating, sailing, water skiing, and other water sports.

To the surprise of many visitors, Pentwater is also a great place to make one’s home and thrive in every season! Keep reading…
