Local Area Information

With several beaches in the city of St. Joseph, each beautiful and clean with their own charm, it truly is a beach-lover's dream! Enjoy a beach week or long weekend getaway with your family or friends and you will find a perfect place to make memories that will last a lifetime. St. Joe’s beaches include acres of State Parkland, campsites, hiking trails, sand dunes, beach playgrounds, picnic areas, beach volleyball, and so much more! The town is filled with restaurants to satisfy every craving and the ice cream and candy shops make this beach town even more delightful.

St. Joe offers speed boat and pontoon rentals through several companies in the area if you want to get out ON the water and not just IN! If you are interested in getting a chartered boat for fishing and/or enjoyment with friends, that is an option too. If you are staying in St. Joe for a while (long enough to be ok with leaving your favorite place for a day), and are up for an adventure, take a day trip to Chicago on the Amtrak that leaves Silver Beach Pizza in the morning and arrives back later in the evening! So much to do!!!

There is no doubt St. Joe and its beautiful beaches are bustling in the sunny months of the summer, but you are missing out if you don't make a trip during the other seasons!

Take a weekend trip to take part in the FALL festivals and visit wineries in the area. The weather is as beautiful as the colorful scenery!

WINTER is full of outdoor activities in the area. Hit the skiing and snowboarding slopes within a short drive of St. Joe, practice your ice skating moves at a local rink, or get in a great workout enjoying cross-country skiing on the trails. Don't miss Light up the Bluff during the Holidays. You will see why wintertime is a family favorite in the area!

When SPRING is in the air, take a weekend getaway during the Blossomtime Festival, Michigan's oldest and largest multi-community festival, celebrating beautiful Southwest Michigan - right in St. Joe!

Whether you want to plan an itinerary full of fun activities for your trip, or whether your plan is to do not much of anything at all other than relaxing and enjoying the sunsets, St. Joe is the place to be!
