There’s something magical about May in Duluth. As winter’s grip finally releases and before the summer crowds arrive, this short window offers travelers a perfect opportunity for what we like to call a “Maycation” – and there’s no better place to experience it than at Pier B Resort Hotel.
Why May is Duluth’s Best-Kept Secret
May sits in that sweet spot between seasons when Duluth undergoes a remarkable transformation. The ice on Lake Superior has retreated, revealing the majestic blue waters in all their glory. The days grow longer, temperatures rise to comfortable levels, and the city comes alive with vibrant energy – all without the hustle and bustle of peak tourist season.

For those in the know, May offers all the beauty of summer with rates that are typically lower than peak season. It’s the insider’s time to visit, when you can enjoy premium experiences, minimal wait times, and the undivided attention of local establishments.
 

Nature’s Grand Awakening

May in Duluth treats visitors to natural spectacles that can’t be experienced any other time of year:

  • Waterfall Season: The spring melt creates dramatic cascades along the North Shore, with numerous falls within easy driving distance of Pier B.
  • Bird Watching: Local nature areas become havens for birdwatchers as migratory species make their seasonal appearances.
  • Spring Blooms: Local parks and gardens begin their colorful transformations, while the nearby hiking trails erupt with delicate wildflowers.
  • Lake Superior Moods: May brings captivating fog banks that roll across the water in the mornings, creating mystical views from your Pier B balcony.
