“People who’ve never vacationed on Lake Michigan think ‘lake,’ ” said Jim Sellman, a real estate agent in Saugatuck, Mich. “They ought to think ‘ocean’ — freshwater ocean.”
Saugatuck developed on this particularly lustrous stretch of beach — there are hundreds of miles of beach on Michigan’s west coast — where the Kalamazoo River empties into the vast lake, 160 miles west of Detroit.
