Here in West Michigan we know we have some of the best beaches in the state, consequently meaning we have some of the best beach towns -- but it's nice to get props where props are due!
Two West Michigan cities made it into the top five for "Beast Beach Towns to Live in," a study by Wallethub that compared hundreds of ocean - and lakefront cities and towns.
Traverse City came in at number one on the list of best towns by the lake and Holland came in at #4.
In total, Wallethub compared 192 cities across 62 key indicators of livability, including housing costs, weather, safety and the quality of the beach water.
