About the Town
Union Pier
If New Buffalo is the energetic hub, Union Pier is the quiet, sophisticated retreat. Hidden behind towering trees and winding roads, this is where the pace slows down. The town is famous for its collection of beautiful inns, sprawling lakefront homes, and quiet, sandy beaches that feel miles away from the crowds.
It’s the kind of place where mornings start with a walk to the corner bakery, afternoons are spent reading on a screened-in porch, and evenings end with a glass of wine at a local tasting room. It is Harbor Country at its most relaxing.
