Bay City Waterfront
Summer Weather in the Great Lakes Bay
Average High: 81° / Average Low: 60°
WHAT TO EXPECT
Summer days are nothing short of refreshing. Think: breezy boat tours and freshwater sailing, lunch along the riverfront before a pedal trolley ride through town. It’s go-time to spend a day at the beach and sleep under the stars — or toss back frosty pints at an outdoor beer garden!
WHAT TO PACK
Shorts and short-sleeves or sundresses by day, with light jackets you can layer on at night, so there’ll be no need to head back to the hotel early (unless you want to). Pajamas and room service?
Things To Do
From frolicking in the waves to boarding sailboat cruises at sunset — with dancing in the streets, swaying to live music, farmers markets and food trucks all as options — explore all you can in the Great Lakes Bay this summer!
