Huron County is located in the tip of the Thumb of Michigan and has over 90 miles of beaches, from White Rock on Lake Huron to Sebewaing on the Saginaw Bay. Resorts, motels, marinas, restaurants, museums and attractions stretch across the coastline. Huron County has more shoreline parks than any other county.
Rich farmland inland produces beans, sugar beets and grain, including most of the world's supply of navy beans. Bad Axe, the county seat, is centrally located and has the largest and most complete shopping choices in the Thumb.
