Tawas Point Lighthouse, located within Tawas Point State Park, is a historic maritime aid built on the shoreline of Northern Michigan.
The lighthouse stands as a traditional, white-painted, conical tower with a lantern room at the top, which guided ships through the often foggy waters of Lake Huron for over a century. Its sturdy brick construction and classic design make it a picturesque landmark against the surrounding natural landscape.
Tawas Point, known for its sandy beaches and diverse birdlife, provides a scenic setting that enhances the lighthouse’s photogenic appeal. The site offers visitors panoramic views of Lake Huron’s blue waters, along with walking trails and picnic areas within the park.
