About the Town
New Buffalo
The anchor of the coast. New Buffalo is where Harbor Country announces itself —the marina, the main street, the rooftop bars, the energy of a real lake town that knows exactly what it is. It has the largest public beach, the biggest boat slips, and the most vibrant downtown strip in the region.
If you’re coming for the first time, you start here. It’s the hub where weekenders gather for tacos on the Stray Dog rooftop, sunset walks down the breakwater, and late-night drinks at the local dive bars. If you keep coming back, you already know why.
