Small historic lighthouse on a breakwater at Lighthouse Beach with wide Lake Michigan vistas, dramatic skies, and a framed view of Evanston shoreline and distant Chicago skyline. Best at sunrise for warm side-lighting on the tower and long reflections; blue hour and storm fronts yield moody drama. Accessible via Sheridan Rd with nearby paid parking and Metra/CTA access; flat short walk to the pier. No entry fees; expect crowds on summer weekends.
