Beachfront & Private Beach

The Baywatch Resort offers direct access to a sugar sand beach on East Grand Traverse Bay. Guests can use the private beach area with sun loungers, beach chairs, and umbrellas. A water spout at the beach entrance allows guests to rinse off sand before returning indoors.

Rooms & Balcony Views

Guest rooms have balconies overlooking the lake, with options including Beach View Walkout King with Spa Suite and Beach View Balcony King with Sleeper Sofa. The rooms include a refrigerator, microwave, and K-cup coffee maker. Non-carpeted floors and key card access are standard across all accommodations.

Breakfast Delivery & Dining

A complimentary continental breakfast is delivered to each guest room at a selected time every morning. Choices include a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich, oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, or a protein pack with hard-boiled eggs. A 24-hour coffee bar in the lobby provides hot coffee, tea, and hot cocoa.

Activities & On-Site Entertainment

The hotel offers live music and bingo on the beachfront patio during warmer months. Yoga classes are held on the beach, and water sport facilities are available on site. A fitness center on the second floor has treadmills facing the waterfront, plus free weights and a Peloton bike.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The Baywatch Resort is within 4 km of the Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College and 2.8 km from Mt Holiday Ski Area. The Old Mission Peninsula Wine Trail is a short drive, and downtown Traverse City with shopping and dining is 5 minutes away. Cherry Capital Airport is 5 km from the property.

Highlights

Beach: Private sugar sand beach with chairs and umbrellas

Breakfast: Complimentary delivery to room with 6 options

Rooms: Lake-view balconies in all room types

Entertainment: Live music, bingo, and yoga on the beach

Wellness: Fitness center with bay-facing treadmills

Location: 5 min from downtown Traverse City and wine trail

“The Baywatch Resort makes a strong impression with its waterfront location, offering beautiful views right from its clean, comfortable rooms. While the balconies could use a design tweak for better sightlines, the overall comfort of the beds and the helpfulness of the staff truly stand out. It's a well-maintained property that feels relatively new, providing a solid experience just a short drive from Traverse City's heart.”
