West Michigan & the Lakeshore
The state's densest antiquing corridor runs along the Lake Michigan shoreline — from Saugatuck's dealer-packed streets up through Holland and Grand Rapids, and down to South Haven.
Why start here
If you're planning your first Michigan antiquing trip, West Michigan is the easiest place to build an itinerary around. The anchor is Saugatuck Antique Pavilion in Douglas — a roughly 24,000-square-foot mall with about 175 dealer booths, open daily year-round. From there, a short drive covers small downtown shops, resort-town boutiques, and larger city malls.

- Afternoon: Drive 20–30 minutes north to Holland for additional shops, or south to South Haven if you'd rather stay on the water.
