Wander along the water's edge and get some fresh air at Buffington Harbor. It's always nice watching the boats as they come and go.
This place for ships to anchor is free to enter, which is excellent news if you're watching your budget. Buffington Harbor is located in Calumet Township. When you're finished, Horseshoe Hammond Casino, Majestic Star Casino and Harrahs East Chicago Casino are nearby and also worth exploring.
