A historical place on the shore of lake Michigan. The lighthouse is well maintained but the other buildings could use some restoration. You can walk the beach and even climb some rocks if that's your thing. The views are great.

This is such a beautiful setting for photo sessions! The photo permit is decently priced as well which is so appreciated for both me and my clients!
Visited the historic Wind Point Lighthouse and was thoroughly impressed by how beautiful the entire property is. The 1880 brick tower stands as a spectacular coastal landmark and is exceptionally well-maintained. The surrounding park grounds are kept remarkably clean, featuring beautifully manicured lawns, brick walking paths, and peaceful seating areas right along the Lake Michigan shoreline. It is a fantastic, highly accessible destination for a relaxing stroll, local history learning, and waterfront photography. Plenty of convenient parking is available on-site, making it a must-visit spot when exploring the area.
A truly beautiful and historic landmark! Built in 1880 and still operating, Wind Point Lighthouse is an absolute must-visit. The grounds are incredibly well-maintained, and the views of Lake Michigan from the sandy beachfront are breathtaking. It is the perfect spot for a peaceful stroll, scenic photography, or simply relaxing by the water to enjoy the lake breeze. Highly recommended!" Overview Map
This is a really good lighthouse to visit pretty much any day. You can go inside on certain Sundays and you can also rent the space. It looks like there's a couple that live here with their three dogs, but they just take care of the grounds and sometimes give tours on those Sundays.
