Looking for a beachy vacation vibe without hopping on a plane? While Michigan’s Great Lakes offer plenty of beachfront excitement, many of us still long for that balmy Caribbean atmosphere – and one restaurant in the Mitten State offers guests the chance to experience a tropical adventure without straying too far from home. Round up the family and prepare for a relaxing meal near the shoreline.

Dockers sits alongside a marina that ultimately flows into Lake Michigan. If you opt for outdoor seating, you’ll even have the opportunity to gaze out at boats as they head to and from the lake.

Favorites include crab cakes, clam chowder, tiki tacos, a spicy fish sandwich, crab and lobster mac ‘n cheese, lobster rolls, and delectable cajun whitefish with a side of rice and veggies.

Of course, there are options for those who don’t appreciate seafood. Some guests opt for the grilled chicken sandwich, tasty bruschetta, melon salad, or a classic cheeseburger with all the fixings.
