Charlevoix South Pier Light
Charlevoix South Pier Light Station
A red steel light tower at the mouth of Charlevoix’s channel into the lake, right beside Lake Michigan’s beach. It is a good spot for watching sunsets and boats coming and going.
The light stands at the end of the breakwater on the south side of the Pine River channel. The current red steel tower dates from 1948, and its predecessor goes back to 1885. You can walk out along the breakwater to the base of the light and watch yachts and ferries enter the channel. The waterfront park beach beside the breakwater is swimmable in summer, and it gets very busy at sunset. In heavy waves the breakwater is slippery, so do not take risks. The inside of the tower is not open to visitors.
