Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to South Shore?
The best time to go to South Shore is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and ideal for enjoying the region's outdoor attractions.

This period offers long, sunny days great for exploring the Indiana Dunes National Park, which stretches along Lake Michigan. You'll find plenty of opportunities for hiking, swimming, and relaxing on the beaches. The lake's waters are at their most inviting during these months.

Couples often find summer particularly appealing for romantic strolls along the shore at sunset or enjoying outdoor dining in towns like Chesterton. The pleasant evenings are great for experiencing local festivals and events that often take place during this season.

Families with children will also appreciate the summer for its extensive range of outdoor activities. The warmer temperatures mean kids can spend hours playing in the sand and splashing in Lake Michigan without getting cold.
Can I cancel my 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. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right South Shore hotel for you.
