Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Cedar cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Cedar vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $199 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Cedar is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Cedar for beaches is along the Lake Michigan shoreline, particularly near Good Harbor Beach and Bohemian Road Beach.

Both beaches offer extensive stretches of sandy shoreline and clear waters, characteristic of Lake Michigan. Good Harbor Beach, located north of Cedar, is known for its wide open spaces and views of the Manitou Islands. Bohemian Road Beach, slightly south, provides a more secluded feel with dunes and natural landscapes. You'll find a mix of holiday rentals and private homes tucked away along the coastal roads in these areas.

Families often find the areas around these beaches ideal. The shallow entry points at Good Harbor Beach make it suitable for children, and there's plenty of space for building sandcastles and playing beach games. Many rentals in this area come with direct beach access or are a short walk away, offering convenience for days spent by the water.

For couples seeking a quiet retreat, the Bohemian Road Beach area is a lovely choice. The more natural setting and fewer crowds provide a peaceful backdrop for walks along the shore, sunset viewing, and enjoying the natural beauty of the lake.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Cedar?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Cedar is during the summer months, particularly July and August. The weather is wonderfully warm, with average temperatures ranging from 24-28°C, which is ideal for enjoying the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan and partaking in various water sports.

During this peak season, the atmosphere around Cedar's beaches is lively and vibrant, with families and couples making the most of the long, sunny days. It's the great time for swimming, sunbathing, or exploring the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Given the popularity, securing prime beachfront accommodations and booking popular activities in advance is highly recommended.

For those seeking a slightly different experience, June offers a fantastic alternative. The weather is still very pleasant, with temperatures typically between 20-25°C, making it excellent for outdoor activities.

What beach activities should we do in Cedar?
The best beach activities in Cedar involve enjoying the tranquil waters of Lake Leelanau and the nearby shores of Lake Michigan.

For families, a visit to the Cedar Township Park on Lake Leelanau is a must. It's a nice, sandy spot great for building sandcastles, paddling in the shallow water, and having a picnic. There's also a playground nearby, keeping younger children entertained. You can easily spend a relaxing afternoon here without the hustle and bustle of larger, more crowded beaches.

Couples looking for a more active experience might enjoy renting kayaks or paddleboards from local vendors to explore Lake Leelanau's calm waters. It's a peaceful way to see the shoreline and enjoy the natural beauty. For those seeking the expansive views of Lake Michigan, a short drive west will take you to public access points with stunning sunsets and opportunities for long walks along the shore.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Cedar as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Cedar for you.
