Mackinaw City, Michigan

Alexander Henry Park

Straits of Mackinac View

One of the best scenic views in Michigan! The ships are about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from shore, but from here you can see them passing under the mighty Mackinac Bridge. From the beach you can walk right underneath the bridge for a unique perspective of the iconic Michigan landmark. The park also contains the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse and connects to the Colonial Michilimackinac Vistor's Center and gift shop.
