Grand Beach City Guide - A Harbor Country® Community

Harbor Country's® village of Grand Beach was synonymous with elegance and class in the 1920s.

Its 175-room Golfmore Hotel was one of the finest on the Great Lakes, catering to film stars and
other celebrities. Lost in a spectacular blaze in 1939, the hotel's name is preserved in beautiful lake estates, clubs and neighborhood streets. The first cottages in Grand Beach, near Royal Avenue, were Sears and Robuck catalogue models.

The current Tall Oaks Inn was once the Pinewood Lodge and served as the training camp for James Braddock as he prepared for his prize fight with Joe Louis. Perhaps the most famous visitors to Grand Beach, however, are author Father Andrew Greeley and the Mayors Daley of Chicago who have maintained summer homes in the village for decades.

The eight towns that make up Harbor Country are New Buffalo, Michiana, Grand Beach, Union Pier, Lakeside, Harbert, Sawyer and Three Oaks.

The official site covers area attractions, directories for lodging, dining, shops, galleries and events. Harbor Country® is a Registered Servicemark of the Harbor Country Chamber of Commerce, New Buffalo, MI.
