I was stationed in Virginia in the navy, lived in Missouri and Illinois and now live in Texas. I was also overseas for a time. There is nowhere that compares to Grand Haven. You don't appreciate it until you move away. I miss it everyday. Even the tourists!!! ha ha ha.....small price to pay...
Great video... I used to live there, back in Portland, OR now... we're going back to get married... I want to on the beach there, still haven't figured out how to do it though ha ha.
Video is great, but Sarah, the natives have always complained about the tourists. Why don't you all just stop and think about the money they spend there? And, myself included, have relatives who helped build that town. I love it any way I can have it.
Thank you so much! Somedays I get so homesick for G.H. it hurts. I grew up in G.H. right up until I left for the navy in '89. Wish I never would have left. I live in Grand Prairie, Texas now and it is no Grand Haven. I love it here but I feel so lucky to have lived in G.H. Can't wait to walk the boardwalk, see the lighthouse, and eat at the Delight someday. I heard the Pronto Pup is no more. Someone say this isn't so!! That's as much a part of G.H. as the musical fountain.
Sweet! I was misinformed. Thanx for the info! Growing up we had the pronto pup...under the "boardwalk"...and A & W...all down there by the riverfront. Miss it all every day......
the little lighthouse/square building at 20sec into the video... last night i drove 2 hours to go sit by it during a store with 10+ feet waves, at night time.
When were these pictures taken? June? It looks empty... Basically a REALLY nice day to be where you got all those shots lol.
Usually the beach is way too packed, tourists are all over the pier, and the boat cops arent just floating around like in that picture, cos' they need them out doing real stuff :-p
I grew up in Grand Haven and I really do miss it and this video made me miss it even more. I can actually remember sitting on that bench and meeting an ex for the first time. He was stationed there on the Coast Guard cutter. Now it is so far away. :(
i used to swim there and hide in the rock almost every day now i live just above gh in muskegon

My parents used to have a boat there. Grand Haven was like a second home.
If I was ever rich, I would probably move there...and / or have a boat there! lol

it was a hit

That wasn't very smart to sit out there in 10 foot waves. Many people have drowned doing the exact same thing.
