Every day brings a new revelation about Saugatuck’s renaissance.
This week, it was the roof.
Seems there’s a nice rooftop on Bridge Square. It offers spectacular views of the Saugatuck River, Bridge Street Bridge, kayakers and scullers and seagulls…
Too bad it’s limited to tenants of the small shopping center — not their customers.
Except for fitness buffs at Saugatuck Studios.
Starting this Saturday, Fran Hoyte’s studio hosts rooftop classes.

They range from Pilates and hatha yoga to functional strength sessions. The earliest is 6:30 a.m.; the latest, 6:15 p.m. The timing (and location) make them perfect for time-starved commuters.
But — this being yoga — you can work out your stress (and tight muscles) in one of the most serene (and secret) settings in Westport.
An added bonus: You face due east. Sunrises are great. In the evening, the light reflecting off the water is amazing.
Saugatuck Studios is located on the lower level of Bridge Square (site of a former fish market). There’s an awesome river view.
That’s one secret of Saugatuck.
The rooftop is another.
What’s next? Westport eagerly awaits the revelation.
