The drive from Chicago to New Buffalo
New Buffalo sits 65 miles around the lake from Chicago, an easy 1 hour 10 minute run up the I-94 corridor into Harbor Country. That short hop is what makes the lakeshore feel close enough for a same-day beach afternoon yet far enough to feel like a real escape. Sedan service starts at $215, and your chauffeur drops you at the door of your inn or rental rather than circling for marina parking. The trip is consistent enough that we can time a morning departure to hit the sand before the lunch crowd and still have you back for dinner in the city the same evening.
