Petoskey

Nestled along the shores of Little Traverse Bay, this beautiful town attracts visitors from all around. Moreover, downtown overlooks the bay and boasts numerous unique restaurants and shops. However, if you visit the beaches keep your eyes peeled for Michigan’s state stone, the Petoskey stone.
