Well-kept lighthouse

South Haven is a fun little area with a decent number of things to do. It's fun to walk the catwalk down to see the lighthouse which seems to be well-maintained. Fun people watching. Nice areas to catch the sunset. Popular beaches.

Beautiful

This is a beautiful lighthouse with a long catwalk. Love sitting on the beach and watching the sunset with the pier in front. When the lights turn on, on the catwalk it’s beautiful.

Beautiful lighthouse

This is a beautiful lighthouse and a must see when you are in South Haven. It's a bit of a walk out on the pier but worth braving the chill in the air in November. Enjoy the sound of the waves crashing on the sea...More

Always beautiful!

You can't take a trip to S. Haven without taking a walk on the pier to see the lighthouse. It's pretty any time of the year too!

South Haven Lighthouse - Beyond Spectacular

What I loved about this lighthouse is the long catwalk, in which the South Haven South Pierhead Light stood at the very end of it. In Lake Michigan, at the tip of the Black River, stands this beautiful read lighthouse. The view is spectacular. If...More

Gorgeous for sunset

I love to watch the ships come and go from the lighthouse! It’s my favorite Michigan lighthouse. It’s also cool on a windy day to watch the waves crash up on the sea wall

Illuminating!

A friend and I got here on a weekday afternoon, summer 2018. We enjoyed walking all the way to the lighthouse on a warm midsummer evening. We stopped several times and sat on benches to watch the boats going in and out of the harbor....More

There are cottages and condos (check VRBO) within walking distance of the light, but I think hotels might be a short drive away. You can use the free parking in downtown South Haven and enjoy a walk past the Marina down to... More

When we went, we parked on a side street that had meters. However, we got there right about 5pm, when they stopped charging at the meters.

Can you actually go into the lighthouse or just see it from the outside?

I am not aware that you can go in. There is a door but it is locked. I would assume no general public entrance. It is a VERY small lighthouse so there would not be a lot to see anyway.
