Since the Aloha Beach House is so centrally located—close to a wide variety of outdoor activities, restaurants, watering holes, nightlife spots, shops, boutiques and galleries for you and your guests to explore and enjoy—we’ll mention a number of highlights here, but we’re sure you’ll discover there are countless options to choose from! Besides being just 45 miles east of Chicago, Michigan City—where Aloha Beach House is located—is noted for both its bordering Lake Michigan and proximity to Indiana Dunes National Park. You’ve got magnificent stretches of shoreline, windswept sand dunes and hiking trails galore (with your choice from easy to moderate to rugged, most being open year-round, many with public bathrooms) virtually a stone’s throw away. And by the way, the Indiana Dunes “park” is not just heralded for its beautiful beaches and sand dunes, but it’s also one of the most biodiverse national parks in the U.S.—with grassy trails, marshes and dense forests—making it a hiking and birdwatching paradise! Local farms, vineyards and wineries offer tours to see and sample the products they grow to supply neighboring fine restaurants and cafes, craft brew pubs, wine shops and cocktail bars. Speaking of which, there are dozens of these to check out, all in the nearby vicinity of Aloha Beach House. And less than 10 miles away, you can also enjoy the many water-related and boating activities afforded by the region’s largest recreational harbor, including boat, kayak and canoe rentals, day and evening cruises, fishing expeditions and so much more. And besides the numerous local antique shops, boutiques and distinguished art galleries, you can also wander through Friendship Botanic Gardens (a short walk away) or the Old Lighthouse Museum in Michigan City’s Uptown Arts District.
