The best beach in my opinion! The bigger state parks are nice but over crowded! Hoffmaster has a bit more of a rustic feel and is often less busy than Holland or Grand Haven. It has a small dune and miles of coast line to explore. Make sure to catch a sunset and head out for some ice cream afterwards at the Whippy-Dip!

Sightseeing
A walk across the blue bridge at night is a must when you are visiting Grand Rapids! Walk along the river and down near the museums to find another pedestrian bridge, end your square with a stroll through the Amway Grand Plaza and a drink on the top floor at Cygnus 27.
