IF YOU PLAN ON TAKING A YOUNG CHILD TO THE LIGHT HOUSE PLEASE READ THIS. Very nice lighthouse with friendly volunteers. However one issue to bring to light. My son who has a fascination with lighthouses, was not allowed to climb up. The reason being he is not taller than 40 inches. Understandably the organization running the house feels in order to safely climb the light you must be that tall. If we had known this or seen it posted on the website, we may have made other plans. Instead we drove two and half hours and had a really disappointed little boy.

The Lighthouse pulses a dim, yet far reaching light at night. (very useful for sneaking onto the beach at night) The Guides who run the lighthouse are nice and give lots of history, I had the chance to see service men rapple the side of the lighthouse to check its integrity, pretty cool. The top is higher than you would expect, and the best time to perch yourself up there is during the sunset.

Out of all the 22 Lighthouses we visited this trip this is my favorite, not because of its History, but its ornate construction giving it a fairy tale appearance, one could spend hours photographing this lighthouse

The view from the top is incredible.!The tickets were about $5/person and were definitely worth it. Kids get coloring books and adults get pamphlets with amazing pictures in them.

My favorite lighthouse. Mostly because I have visited this lighthouse since I was a child. We love to climb to the top of the lighthouse for fantastic views of the dunes

Beautiful location on Lake Michigan. Easy access for all. State park pass needed for free parking. Gift shop on premises that benefits the lighthouse.

We climb to the top of the lighthouse every time we come home to visit. The lighthouse is kept in great shape and the view from the top is spectacular.

Of all the lighthouses in the world, this is the one I love best. If you can, climb to the top because the view and the sense of history cannot be beat.

Amazing lighthouse and Beach. I love that you can now tour the lighthouse. Beach is much smaller that is used to be because of record lake levels

Lighthouse is great. Staff is friendly and helpful. The parking lot is small as is the beach area itself, but otherwise a great place to visit.

Wonderful beach and you can even tour the lighthouse! Controlled by D&R now and more people know about this once secluded sun bath spot.

Beautiful setting, beach and sand. Unfortunately the lighthouse was closed on our visit, but our daughter loved playing in the sand!

One of the best places in the state to view the sunset, and one of the most beautiful settings for a lighthouse in the state.
