Accessable by both land and water, the Nautical Mile is truly the pride of St. Clair Shores. Situated along Lake St. Clair on Jefferson Avenue between 9 and 10 1/2 Mile Roads, the Nautical Mile is a mecca for shopping, dining, entertainment, nightlife, recreation and special events. The goal of the Nautical Mile Merchants Association is to produce events on the Nautical Mile for visitors and residents to enjoy throughout the year. Longtime Shores proprietor Donna Flaherty of Gifts Afloat is the president of the Nautical Mile Merchants Association. Information on the Nautical Mile and upcoming events can be found on the association website or by calling the hotline.
