Suttons Bay lies midway up the eastern shore of the Leelanau Peninsula. This year 'round coastal village has a quality all its' own...specialty shops, galleries, unique dining experiences, B&B's and historic inns make this a truly "walkable village". Marina Park is an ideal spot for a family day at the beach. The schoolship schooner the Inland Seas, is docked on the south side of the marina.
