Whether planning a vacation, family visit or just searching around to try something new, New Buffalo is one of Southwest Michigan’s true treasures, a fabulous destination rich with top-quality fun, flavor and culture!
Nestled along the Lake Michigan shoreline just 70 miles from Chicago, this historic resort town has long been an “R-and-R” haven for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Here, the glories of “Mother Nature” can be found literally everywhere you turn. Besides its teeming with magnificent lake views, miles of sandy dunes, and the region’s largest recreational harbor—with boating and jet-ski rentals available, and fishing and beach activities galore—New Buffalo is also strewn with plenty of woodland parks, rivers, and hiking and biking trails for outdoor enjoyment.
Plus, the surrounding farms, orchards and wineries not only contribute to the bucolic, peaceful atmosphere associated with the best of the Midwest spirit, but also provide fresh, local products for consumption at regular farmers markets or in the many superb eateries in town.
In fact, the delicious meals served at plenty of New Buffalo’s superb restaurants, bistros and cafes are sourced from farms just minutes away, blending rural and urban influences on dishes ranging from “country” to “metropolitan” and everything in between.
