Compact red-and-white lighthouse at the end of a public pavilion on Lake Michigan — strong graphic shapes against water and sky. Shoot pier leading lines, reflections on calm mornings, dramatic sunsets and ice formations in winter. Easy street parking nearby; public pier access with no entry fee. Best at sunrise for soft east light and at sunset for color over the lake; weekdays are quieter. Maritime context adds storytelling opportunities.
