Norton Shores/Muskegon Area 101
Food scene
Our favorite place to eat in the area is called The Deck. It’s right on the beach at Pere Marquette! They have great food and a good ambiance. On the weekends they bring in live music. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait but if you’re looking for an experience this is the place to go!

This is our favorite place to see the sunset. It is a little further away - 24 minutes, but is vast and open to Lake Michigan.

This odd attraction is certainly interesting. Across the street is a short trail to the beach which only has a few people there. A HIDDEN GEM.
