Where is the best boat watching place in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan? I have several favorite spots but yesterday I spent time at the West Pier and it ranks right up there as a great view of the action on the river.
My aunt lives in West Pier apartments and her third floor balcony gave me a great view. These pictures were taken there and also in the parking lot.
When the apartments were built I wondered why the contractor put the garages between the apartment buildings and the Lock's approach. He couldn't have been a boat watcher or he would have realized what a 'million dollar' view he was obscuring with the garages.
In spite of that, there is great boat watching here.

| The boat is so close here that I could hear the crew talking to one another |

| The sunset is still beautiful even though it is partially blocked by the garages and other buildings of the apartment complex. |
