Wildlife
Harbor Beach is a GREAT place for bird watching. Not only do we get a large amount of migrating birds, but waterfowl and birds of prey (including bald eagles) are also a common sight.
Deer and other forest animals are extremely plentiful in the area as well. You may even see some from time to time in the city!
If you're an avid hunter or your a wildlife photography buff, you'll find plenty to do nearby.
Golf
Harbor Beach Golf Course is a 9-hole public golf course inside of the city limits.
Nearby you can access Veronal Hills Golf Club, Bird Creek Golf Club and several other courses.
Stargazing
Being located on the coast of Lake Huron and surrounded by miles of rural farmland makes our area a premier spot for stargazing. With very little light pollution you are able to experience many astronomical surprises including constellations, shooting stars, planets, and more. Telescopes not required!
NATURe
As a four season climate, we get to see the plants and trees do all of their tricks. Fall tends to be a particularly beautiful time, but each season has it's own special nuances.
If you're an gardener, you'll love how well crops grow in the wonderful dirt of the Thumb.
If you look closely, you may even find some morels or fiddle ferns or many other forgeable items in the city's expansive green spaces and parks.
