The City is on Tawas Bay, Michigan, and Tawas Point State Park is nearby, which is considered to be an especially good locale for birding. It is said to be the most important "migrant trap" in the Saginaw Bay area . A fairly complete list of migratory birds that frequent the area is available.  The Tawas Point Lighthouse  is located there.

Downtown East Tawas

Although it is a small city, it has a very lively downtown area. The main downtown area would probably be considered the six-block area between Sawyer, Lincoln, Bay, and Main Street. Downtown East Tawas is home to many small shops. Many of these shops can be found on Newman Street, including Mooney's Ben Franklin, the Book Nook, Tawas Bay Fudge Company, Miller Shoes, O'Connor's, Village Chocolatier, Marmar Gourmet, Windjammer's, etc. Every shop has a small town feel and sells unique items. Many restaurants can be found here as well. A major attraction in downtown would be the Newman Street mini mall. Downtown is also home to the only movie theatre in the small town of East Tawas.
