FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE | 47 Third Coasting Explore the waterway wonder of Lake Michigan BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ W hile everyone knows about the beaches along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, what about the Third Coast? With approximately 10,000 miles of shoreline — more than the entire U.S. Atlantic and Pacific coastlines combined — the Great Lakes are often dubbed the Third Coast. Featuring 200-plus miles of some of the prettiest white sand beaches on the Third Coast, Lake Michigan is among the most accessible of the Great Lakes for Arizonans. Harbor Country is a quick drive from South Bend Airport, Chicago Midway Airport or Chicago O’Hare International Airport. And fun fact: Mesa Gateway Airport offers weekly flights to South Bend through Allegiant Airlines. Bursting with beachfront towns that cater to every level of travel, Harbor Country especially sparkles during the summer months. Temperatures rarely rise above 90 degrees or dip below the mid-60s from June to September, meaning it is warm enough for ample outdoor activities but still temperate enough to enjoy brunch on a waterfront patio and wine in a sprawling vineyard. If visiting for the first time, take advantage of the area’s plentiful boutique accommodations, many of which are nestled along the bustling marinas with 180-degree views of local yachts and sailboats, as well as the endless beaches.
