The Grand Haven Lighthouse is one of a shrinking number of still active Michigan lights. I think I read somewhere that due to its easy accessibility and the beauty of the area, it is the most photographed lighthouse in the world.

Dave Wobser wrote a nice little article at Boatnerd (with more pics) and Terry Pepper has detailed information on the light’s construction and history. The lighthouse is located in the Grand Haven State Park and there’s also a webcam to view the beach, pier & lighthouse. If you want to visit, try the Grand Haven Chamber of Commerce.
