# Harbor Beach (US HB4)

**UN/LOCODE:** US HB4  
**Country:** United States  
**Water Body:** Lake Huron; Great Lakes  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Breakwater)  
**GPS:** 43.8500, -82.6500

Billed as the world's largest man-made freshwater harbour of refuge, Harbor Beach sits on the west shore of Lake Huron, about 95 km north of Port Huron in Michigan's Thumb. Behind its long breakwater lies essentially a refuge and recreational harbour with a city marina; despite a salt-industry heritage in the town, regular commercial cargo handling here is not confirmed. Liner, container and bulk shipments are better served by the Saginaw–Bay City corridor and the wider Detroit area. For forwarders, Harbor Beach is a shelter and pleasure-craft port rather than a freight terminal.
