Little Sable Point Lighthouse

"Easy walk from parking lot on paved path. State park pass needed for parking lot. You can purchase a recreational permit at the entry to the parking lot. Restrooms on site; no running water. Beautiful views all around area. Great for celebrational pictures. Clean beach. Great place to hang out for the day. Dog friendly. Our group enjoyed the beach area; played in the waves, and lounged in the sand. You are able to bring your beach chairs and gear. There is a merchants table to purchase souvenirs. The sunsets are amazing, and the night sky is crystal clear. There is a small fee (we paid $8.00 usd adults) to enter the light house. As you would imagine... you are climbing steep stairs (130 steps), but there are landings with windows to stop and rest or take in the views. There are two water tight hatches and the opening to get to the outside top railing that may be daunting for some to get through. The climb is worth it for the breathtaking views of Lake Michigan coastline. The wind was scary fun on top 360 view. Full of history, built-in 1874. A must stop to check out this Michigan treasure."

"Beautiful lighthouse overlooking Lake Michigan. Very easy to get to: a paved road to a paved walking path that leads directly to the lighthouse (and the beach). I'd say it's a must see when in the area, even if not touring the lighthouse. It's a known tourist spot and is typically fairly busy, but with no lines. Restroom facilities on site, but no picnic area that we seen. As of 9/2/23 it is $8 for adults to tour the lighthouse. A state park pass is also required for the parking lot."

"The lighthouse was very fun to climb. The view was amazing and worth the scary winds up there! The guides are cool and obviously knowledgeable. The beach was also very cool. Lots of people. The beach was warm and you can go out pretty far before not being able to touch. Parking was cheap and the lighthouse was too."

"Such a beautiful beach, the sand is so soft! I love that the sand squeaks it’s so fun! When we arrived there was a wedding set up right next to the lighthouse- very nice place for a low key but beautiful beach wedding! The bathrooms weren’t as nasty as anticipated so that was a plus! There is a good amount of space on the beach, I would imagine it could get packed pretty quick on hot summer days. But it is very beautiful, it is also rather shallow for a while! You can see my 3’7” three year old girl she can walk in it very well. So it’s a good beach for littles to be able to walk and play in the water. It’s a typical beach and gets deeper as you go out for adults. Also- for a Michigan beach it is not as rocky as some or as filled with nasty grass and gross stuff. It is one of the cleanest beaches I have been too- and It’s just a soft sand in the water- did find some small rocks but no shells to look through. Over all 10/10 would recommend to families for a little vacation spot!"
