Bay Harbor Makes List of Top 10 Ports
Bay Harbor made the list of Top 10 cruising destinations in Motor Boating Magazine's March, 2006 issue. Here is the full list.
1 Bay Harbor, Mich. Located on the south shore of Little Traverse Bay, this manmade harbor has become a Midwest favorite, although it was created only 12 years ago.
2 Charleston, S.C. A natural stopover for coastal and ICW cruisers, this walkable city has beautiful houses and gardens to admire, plenty of transient dockage and marine services of every kind.
3 Exuma Cays, Bahamas This 90-mile long chain of islands south of Nassau includes deserted beaches and brilliant coral reefs.
4 Key West, Fla. There’s great fishing, historic homes and restaurants of all kinds in a subtropical setting unlike any other U.S. port. And they don’t call it Margaritaville for nothing.
5 Nantucket Island, Mass. Quaint cobblestone streets and colonial architecture are paired with upscale shops and restaurants, and you’ll see some of the most beautiful boats in the country.
6 Newport, R.I. It has a well-protected harbor, a busy social scene, a rich history and "cottages" to die for.
7 San Diego, Calif. San Diego Bay and Mission Bay have waterfront restaurants, marinas and services, plus the U.S. Navy’s presence—an endless source of activity.
8 San Juan Islands, Wash. Navigating the channels of the San Juan Islands is like driving through the mountains on saltwater highways.
9 Southwest Harbor, Maine Perhaps the best known of Mount Desert Island’s storied harbors, it’s home to Hinckley Yachts and Somes Sound and presided over by mountainous Acadia National Park.
10 St. Augustine, Fla. A visit to the oldest city in the U.S. (circa 1565) must include a tour of the Castillo de San Marcos to absorb the pre-colonial Spanish influence.
Congratulations, Bay Harbor! That is some pretty good company you are keeping.
