The tower was first lit in 1905 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light shows one red flash every 10 seconds, seen up to 15 nautical miles out. The red fog signal building at the end of Grand Haven's south pier, the outer of the two lights joined by a catwalk, reached on foot from Grand Haven State Park.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from Grand Haven State Park, 722 m (2,368 ft) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.

On the website for now. Michigan's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when Michigan arrives.
