Good Harbor is a kitesurf spot located in Good Harbor Bay, within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, on Lake Michigan. This spectacular spot is surrounded by massive dunes and forests, offering an exceptional natural setting. The semi-sheltered bay provides varied conditions: from flat water in offshore winds to interesting waves in west winds. North Manitou Island is visible offshore, adding to the wild character of the location.
