Attractions
Visitors come for Tawas Point State Park, birding along the flyway, charter fishing, and sandy beaches that face sunrise vistas over Lake Huron. Downtown offers walkable shops, cafes, and seasonal markets, while the bay’s calm waters invite paddling, sailing, and family-friendly swimming all summer.
Economy
Tourism, hospitality, small retail, and marine services anchor the local economy. Nearby forests and public lands support outfitters and guides, and year-round residents benefit from healthcare, education, and public-sector jobs that serve the broader Sunrise Side.
