Classic red-and-white lighthouse at the end of a broken concrete pier on Lake Michigan — great for compositional leading lines, reflections and dramatic skies. Visit at sunset for golden hour over the water, or blue hour for illuminated lighthouse against deep blues. Accessible via South Beach Park parking; short pier walk (watch for slippery surfaces). No public climb; bring tripod for long exposures. Winter brings icy formations for unique close-ups.
