The Baywatch Resort is a 3-star independent hotel located directly on the beach in Traverse City, Michigan, with views of Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay. The property sits steps from the water's edge, offering immediate access to the shoreline and the surrounding natural landscape of northern Michigan's wine country region.
The hotel provides complimentary breakfast for guests, along with a fitness center, free EV charging, and a business center. A 24-hour front desk is available to assist with inquiries and arrange activities. The beachfront setting serves as the primary draw, with the sandy shore accessible directly from the property.
The location places guests within walking distance of Traverse City Beach and Traverse City State Park, both less than a tenth of a mile away. Cherry Capital Airport is roughly 5 miles south. The resort's waterfront position makes it practical for visitors focused on beach time, water activities, and exploring the natural attractions of Grand Traverse Bay during summer and fall seasons.
