Minnesota many not have any ocean views, but that doesn’t mean we’re without coastline. In fact, because of our more than 10,000 Lakes, we have thousands of miles of it! But Minnesota’s official coast? Definitely the North Shore, where we have almost 200 miles of shoreline to explore. If you’re looking for a lovely town along the shore, look no further than Two Harbors. Read on to learn about one of the most charming towns in Minnesota.

Two Harbors is a small town about 20 miles north of Duluth on Highway 61. It has a population of about 3,700.
