West Michigan Weekend Part V: Eldean Shipyard

Eldean Shipyard & Marina - Lake Macatawa, Michigan
// [Read parts 1-4 of my West Michigan series here: (Post 1, Post 2, Post 3, Post 4)] //

I believe that the Eldean Shipyard in Macatawa was created specifically for people who love to daydream and watch sunsets. Okay–it’s actually a lovely marina and resort designed to accommodate yacht owners, but for people like me (who can only dream what it would be like to hang out on a yacht), it’s a great representation of how beautiful (and nautical!) Michigan is during the summer.

Just a few miles from Holland, the Eldean Shipyard is nestled where Lake Michigan meets Lake Macatawa. The marina boasts an exclusive location, grandiose homes, and breathtaking skies–all of which Brad and I enjoyed photographing while strolling the docks.

We may not be “yacht people” ourselves, but I think letting our imaginations run wild is almost just as fun. What do you think?
