Perched at the end of the South Pier in South Haven, MI, the stout South Haven Lighthouse stands as a red sentinel against the waves of Lake Michigan.
This iconic structure was built in 1903, bands of painted red metal capped in a black lantern room connected to the mainland of Western Michigan by a lengthy black catwalk, a horizontal spear piercing the deep azure waters.
The surrounding landscape of South Haven Light shapes its character: to the east, the bustling harbor and quaint beaches of the charming resort town; to the west, open waters and an endless blue horizon.
