South Haven has been named one of the 15 most beautiful towns in the U.S. by WorldAtlas.com.
The World Atlas website launched in 1994, and as the passion project of cartographer John Moen and his wife Chris Woolwine-Moen, according to the website.
Today, WorldAtlas says it is one of the largest publishing resources in geography and other topics it covers, including sociology, demography, environment, economics, politics, and travel.
Here’s what the site had to say about South Haven:
This southwestern Michigan beach town more than holds its own against a slew of other Lake Michigan gems. First and foremost, South Haven has an excellent waterfront, with long sandy stretches sub-divided by the South Haven Pier, which itself is complete with a postcard-perfect, bright red lighthouse. Aside from the scenic shoreline, South Haven also has a well-stocked, pedestrian-friendly downtown core, and a wealth of nearby inland lakes and nature trails to explore.
According to the website, the other 14 most beautiful towns in America are:
- Gatlinburg, Tennessee
- Cloudcroft, New Mexico
- Homer, Alaska
- Moab, Utah
- Bend, Oregon
- Key West, Florida
- Skaneateles, New York
- Brevard, North Carolina
