St. Josephs Avenue is also M-22, the same Michigan highway which travels around the entire Leelanau Peninsula.

Suttons Bay is located about 15 miles (about 20 minutes if traveling the speed limit!) north of Traverse City on M-22.

Suttons Bay is a lovely year 'round village surrounded to the east by the bay, and snuggged in under the hills along the shore.

Our downtown main street business district is lined with an interesting bookstore (Known Books of course!), shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants, a movie theatre and a few antique and resale shops.

Plan on spending hours browsing (and hopefully buying a bit) our shelves, and oh, don't bother packing a lunch, enjoy a fine gourmet lunch and exquisite dessert in The Silvertree Deli, conveniently accessed from within Known Books through our interior doorway.
