Union Pier is a quaint community located on the shore of Lake Michigan. Walk around town and visit the galleries, Union Pier’s corner store, and the ice cream parlor. Enjoy the beautiful countryside and the sandy beach. You will find a number of resorts and bed and breakfasts here. The beach name reflects the community's historic ties to timber. Ships loaded up with wood here and carried it away to Michigan more than a century ago.
