Wonderful Lighthouse

This Red lighthouse still has the railing that the Grand Haven Lighthouse is missing. There is also a wonderful beach. PAID parking.

beautiful sunsets

Be sure to stop by the main lighthouse in South Haven as part of your overall trip. You will get the true feell of Lake Michigan, especially if you walk to the end of the pier.

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

There is free parking up the hill "in town". Parking down by the beach requires payment.

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.
