Welcome to Harbor Beach

The City of Harbor Beach is located on Lake Huron in Michigan’s Thumb region. We combine a small town feel and peacefulness of a lakeside community with the benefits of year round industries and services.

We are home to a community hospital, three schools, several manufacturers, and have a drive to continually improve the City and quality of life for our citizens. We have completed several large projects in our trail system and on our lakefront in the last decade and will continue to make the City a better place for citizens and visitors alike.

If you’re planning a visit to Harbor Beach, be sure to check out our Parks & Recreation section for a wide range of activities including waters sports, parks, trails, museums and more!

We have one of the best citywide trail systems including the paved Harbor View Trail and the Backus Nature Trail. We are also a stop on the Tip of the Thumb Heritage Water Trail.

We have many visitors to enjoy water activities including fishing, boating, paddlesports, exploring shallow water shipwrecks, or to just enjoy a day at our sandy beach. If you’re coming in by water or need to launch your watercraft, we have a Municipal Marina at the North end of the city inside our protected harbor.

We also offer a host of cultural and historical options for visitors including our Harbor Beach Lighthouse, the Justice Frank Murphy Museum, Grice House Museum, and even a historical walking trail.

If you’d like to camp in the City, North Park Campground is your place. If you’d rather stay in a cottage on the lake, we offer those too!
