We are your beachside getaway in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan! Nestled right on the shores of East Grand Traverse Bay, we’re just minutes from downtown TC, the TART Trail, and all the cherry-loving, wine-sipping, beach-hopping fun you can handle.

We’re open year-round, so whether you’re catching rays in July or watching snowflakes hit the bay in January, Baywatch is always ready to welcome you.

Here’s what makes us awesome:

480 feet of sugar sand beach — yep, it's as dreamy as it sounds
Beach chairs and towels (just bring your vibes)
Beachfront games to keep the fun going
Seasonal gas grills & fire tables for brats and stories
Complimentary breakfast – fuel up for your TC adventures
Free WiFi – stream, scroll, or Zoom with a view
Private balconies in our Beach View rooms (hello, sunsets!)
EV charging for your eco-friendly ride
Guest laundry – pack light, stay longer
Fitness center – if you're into that sort of thing

Ready for your lakefront escape? We’re here, all year.
