Exploring Macomb

It's hip. It's cool. It's got water everywhere.

The Macomb region is east of downtown Detroit and a great place for waterfront dining and to watch hundreds of sailboats, powerboats and more on Lake St. Clair and Anchor Bay. Discover restaurants overlooking marinas with lively summertime outdoor entertainment. Enjoy a day at the beach, shop the Main Streets or power shop at two large malls that sit between two miles of mega stores. Downtown Mt. Clemens, the area’s largest city, has a quaint downtown district just across the way from the Emerald Music Theatre that stages top rock acts. There are plenty of restaurant options from pubs to fine dining with a casual attitude.
