Mackinaw City
At the northern tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, this tiny village anchors the southern end of the Mackinac Bridge and serves as a ferry gateway to Mackinac Island. Fort Michilimackinac State Park, Old Mackinac Point Light, and McGulpin Point Light give it a dense historic profile for its size, and the Straits of Mackinac make it a strong destination for waterfront photography. A modest but real café and restaurant scene rounds out the offer.
