About the Area
Benton Harbor is located on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan, across the river from its twin city of St. Joseph. We are home to great beaches for summertime fun, vineyards for some of the best wines, and Breweries/Distilleries for some unique tasting beverages. When you're not enjoying some time at the beach, you can play golf at the Harbor Shores Resort, enjoy performances at The Mendel Center, or take a stroll through the Benton Harbor Arts District. If you need to take a vacation from this piece of paradise, we are only 1.5 hours from Grand Rapids and Chicago!
