Lighthouse · Munising, Michigan
Grand Island North Lighthouse
The tower, first lit in 1867, is dark now. The working light, one white flash every 6 seconds, stands nearby, about 20 m away. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The brick tower on the cliffs at the north end of Grand Island has been dark since 1961, when a light on a steel pole replaced it; it is a private summer home, seen only from the water.

How to see it
Above water and inside the horizon from Sand Point Beach, Pictured Rocks, 14 km (8.5 mi) 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.
