Beaver Island, 58 square miles in area, is the largest and only inhabited island in Lake Michigan. A two-hour ferry ride or a twenty minute flight from mainland Charlevoix is the lifeline to this unspoiled and unhurried island. Unmatched in natural beauty, it is steeped in rich Native American and Irish history. Paradise Bay, the hook shaped harbor on the north end of the island, is home to the town which consists of a ferry dock, two airports, gift shops, restaurants, pubs, groceries, marinas, churches, and museums. An old Coast Guard lighthouse still stands at Whiskey Point, the tip of this hook shaped bay.
