Bay Harbor Golf Club

You have a choice of three courses called the Links, the Quarry or the Preserve at the Bay Harbor Golf Club. This is the stunning view from the 18th hole. Designed by Arthur Hill, you'd think you were overlooking the California coastline. Open just 15 years ago, the developers knew what they were doing. The shoreline bluffs and dunes of Michigan are spectacular. Thanks for the photo, Patty Weidman.

Knot Just a Bar in Bay Harbor

Talk about inviting, Knot Just a Bar which overlooks the Marina at Bay Harbor, begs for you to step through their doors. Any place that offers outdoor seating with a view in the summertime already earns beaucoup points.  There are many tempting options on their menu like fish tacos, smoked whitefish pâté, rosemary hummus, veggie burgers served with aioli and cucumber mojitos. If that isn't enough, they have live entertainment Thursday and Saturday evenings, too. You can catch the Tigers battling Cleveland at 4pm for first place on their TVs, also. Anibal is pitching.

Bay Harbor In-Water Boat Show

We'd never experienced an "In-Water" boat show before, so this one in Bay Harbor last weekend was so delightful! We were able to climb aboard some very beautiful and unique boats, running the gamut from fishing trawlers to high end yachts. Of course, we want one now!
