The lighthouse and beach is gorgeous. At night the pier is lit up. During our stay in South Haven( end of March) it was chilly and there were high waves. Visiting here a lot of shops weren’t open …Full review by Kristian R

Questions & answers

Q:
Is the TA pin on the map incorrect? It seems too far inland. Thanks!
A:
The Google map pin is correct. The light house is about 100 yards out in the lake. I don't know what map pin you are referring to.
Q:
any recommendation for pace to stay close to the light house?
A:
We used VRBO and rented a cottage in South Haven.
Q:
where can you park in order to walk out to the lighthouse? is it free?
A:
I am not sure if and when the large parking lot by south beach and lighthouse pier is free. We like to park in the free lot up in town and walk down to the pier.
Q:
Can you actually go into the lighthouse or just see it from the outside?
A:
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.
