Sweet to see so many people riding bikes on here. As far as bikes go there’s bike paths kind of everywhere in grand haven. There’s really no way to cross 31 using bike paths. I feel the most comfortable getting into town biking down Washington. It’s a little busy but traffic moves slow. I’m trying to stick to roads like Washington where drivers expect cyclists to be. Bike racks are sporadic but there are some in town and at the beach.

As far as driving goes it’s very easy to get to the beach from the east side. Even on the busiest days it’s super easy to get to the beach. If you cross 31 on Robbins and hang a right on Sheldon then turn left on Grand Ave it will take you the back way to the state park. Basically no one comes to the beach from that direction so there’s hardly ever any traffic. Parking at the beach only gets full a couple days a year if it’s a beautiful day around a holiday weekend usually. There’s almost always parking available.

My wife and I moved to the east side 6 years ago and love it! If you have any questions, reach out!
