There is something about Saugatuck & Douglas, Michigan that makes them two of the most gay friendly small towns in the country. Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender tourists all find something difficult to define but easy to recognize, like magic. Best of all, it is everywhere you look. It's in the world-renowned beaches, such as Oval Beach in Saugatuck. Nestled between the refreshing waters of Lake Michigan and our gorgeous sand dune forest, our pristine beaches provide days of sun and sport, breathtaking sunsets, and evenings of delight and wonder. It's in the shops and restaurants. With over 120 gay owned and gay friendly business, the shopkeepers and staff are proud to be among the most welcoming of gay friendly travel destinations. So many unique shops, galleries and restaurants options to choose from, you can find just about anything your heart desires, and some things you can't find anywhere else. It's in the arts. We're called the "art coast of Michigan", and for good reason: no matter how your tastes run, we have something here for you. We have world-class galleries, artist studios, and museums. The world-renowned Ox-Bow art school is here, as well as summer stock theatre. We host our annual Waterfront Film Festival every June, featuring independent films from all over the world. It's in the people. For decades, our residents have made Saugatuck and Douglas Michigan's most gay friendly small towns by welcoming Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender visitors with open arms. We have GLBT Pride. We are proud of our reputation as a place where people from all walks of life can come and find themselves simply by being who they are. Most importantly, it's in you. Simply put, we wouldn't be who we are without the continued support of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community, and so we work hard to make your visit as fun and memorable as possible. We know there are many reasons why you choose Saugatuck & Douglas Michigan as your gay travel destinations every year, but there is only one reason why you keep coming back: you're always welcome here!

The first time I arrived in Saugatuck-Douglas, I knew this was where I was supposed to be. Saugatuck-Douglas is an artists’ colony located among Lake Michigan’s towering sand dunes, and the beaches are stunning, the summer air humidity-free, the vistas breathtaking. The towns are a throwback, complete with quaint, window-boxed cottages, whitewashed storefronts, and top-notch art galleries and restaurants. The towns have thwarted the flirtations of big chains, and remain a resort area free of tackiness. When you arrive, you’ll feel what I felt, too, because the towns will resonate in your soul and allow you to be true to yourself.” ~ Wade Rouse ~ Bestselling author of At Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream, critically acclaimed memoirist and local resident (www.waderouse.com) Located in the heart of downtown Saugatuck.

EXIT 36 118TH Glenn EXIT 30 Fennville TYLER BYOU Once a thriving lumber town, Saugatuck-Douglas became a popular tourist destination in the early 1800s. By 1880, Chicago and St. Louis natives commonly traveled to the Saugatuck-Douglas lakeshore to escape the summer heat, but the area’s true turning point came in 1910, when artists from the Chicago Art Institute established the Summer School of Painting on the Ox-Bow Lagoon. Ox-Bow encouraged a gay presence in Saugatuck and Douglas, which flourished as gay friendly small towns. In fact, tourists have warmly nicknamed Saugatuck the “Fire Island of the Midwest” for its GLBT pride. n’s m Me u i m Pre in Care Sk Sold at The Dunes Resort www.DirtyBoyzPlayClean.com 2010 Saugatuck-Douglas GREENMARKET Visit our web site for the most updated listings of gay owned and gay friendly businesses and organizations in the Saugatuck-Douglas area.
