12 Incredible Stops Along Lake Superior

 There are some road trips where the journey is just as memorable as the destinations, and Minnesota's North Shore is definitely one of them.

Following Highway 61 along the shores of Lake Superior, this scenic drive takes you past rugged cliffs, rocky beaches, waterfalls, historic lighthouses, quiet coves, charming small towns, and some truly incredible views.

During our trip, we explored the North Shore from Duluth all the way to Grand Portage near the Canadian border. Along the way, we stopped at waterfalls, walked along the rocky shoreline, visited historic lighthouses, discovered a black sand beach, and found several beautiful places that made us want to slow down and simply enjoy Lake Superior.

If you are planning a trip to Minnesota's North Shore, this guide will take you through our route from south to north and help you plan your own unforgettable road trip.

Grand Marais: The North Shore Town I Didn't Want to Leave

Grand Marais: The North Shore Town I Didn't Want to Leave

Of all the places we visited on our road trip along Minnesota's North Shore, there was one that completely stole my heart: Grand Marais.

Before our trip, I had heard that Grand Marais was an artist colony. I wasn't really sure what to expect from that, but after visiting, I could completely understand why.

Isle of Berk at Epic Universe: Exploring the Viking Village

 Isle of Berk at Epic Universe: Exploring the Viking Village

Of all the lands we explored at Universal Epic Universe, Isle of Berk was my favorite. 

Inspired by How to Train Your Dragon, this colorful Viking village immediately caught my attention. The buildings, rocky landscape, boats, water, dragons, and little Viking details make the whole area feel like you've stepped right into the world from the movies.

Cozumel’s Punta Langosta Pier: What It’s Like Docking in Town

 

After several visits to Cozumel, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect when arriving on the island. Most of my previous visits had been through the larger cruise terminals outside downtown, so this cruise was a little different.

For the first time, our ship docked at Punta Langosta Pier, right in the heart of San Miguel.

I was curious to see how different the experience would be, and I quickly realized that where your ship docks can make a surprisingly big difference in how you experience Cozumel.

Instead of arriving at a cruise terminal that feels somewhat removed from town, Punta Langosta puts you right in the middle of the action. Step off the ship, walk through the terminal, and you're essentially downtown.
