Suttons Bay is a coastal community on the shores of Sutton Bay, an inlet of Lake Michigan. On the M-22, Sutton Bay is only twenty minutes north of Traverse City, and has delightful ways to spend a day with family or friends. Marina Park has a lovely beach on the turquoise waters of the bay.

The town has several art galleries, an historical museum, a casino offering games and entertainment, and there are dining options for everyone’s taste. The majority of the restaurants and cafes serve locally-grown food, and many have patios for those who like al fresco dining. Kids will love the ice cream shop and the candy store which has forty different flavors of award-winning fudge.
