Across the avenue at Stearns Park is a half mile of white sand beach with shuffleboard courts, mini-golf, concession stands and a picnic area. Panoramic views of Ludington's deepwater harbor and a historic lighthouse are shared by all lakefront rooms at the Inn. Enjoy life on the water, watching freighters, the carferry and every kind of leisure craft sailing in and out of the harbor.
