See The Best Sunsets At These Lovable Michigan Beaches

Michigan is a gorgeous state. Michigan also has some of the best sunsets on the planet. Where are the best beaches for you to watch a sunset in Michigan?

I am going to stay on Lake Michigan in this article. Lake Michigan offers you the view to the west so you can watch the sun disappear over the horizon at night. Watching the sunset on Lake Michigan was one of my favorite things to do when I was growing up. My friends I would ride down to Lake Michigan in St. Joe on our bikes. We might snag some ice cream along the way. It's just what we did growing up on the lake.

Sunsets could be an event for someone. Perhaps you want to propose to your "love" and you think it'd be romantic to do it at sunset. You get points for creativity but you still need to find the perfect spot to pop the question.

Sunsets also mean the end to a day. Maybe the day was bad and you ran out of "f's" to give. The sun setting symbolizes the end of the day and that a new day will dawn tomorrow. Rest easy and get ready to get back at it.

Regardless of why you love sunsets, a sunset awaits you in Michigan. Plan a trip for a day on the lake, grab some eats and enjoy the sunset.
