Love this area! So beautiful. Beaches and lighthouse were worth the visit. $10 to park all day. The consession stand had very good ice cream!Full review by kellyhQ6722BW

Parking was a mess. But it was worth the walk. Lots of places along the inlet to set. But nothing near the light house. Wish we could have went inside .Full review by Voyager58203480877

Questions & answers

Q:
Is the TA pin on the map incorrect? It seems too far inland. Thanks!
A:
The Google map pin is correct. The light house is about 100 yards out in the lake. I don't know what map pin you are referring to.
Q:
any recommendation for pace to stay close to the light house?
A:
There are cottages and condos (check VRBO) within walking distance of the light, but I think hotels might be a short drive away. You can use the free parking in downtown South …

There are cottages and condos (check VRBO) within walking distance of the light, but I think hotels might be a short drive away. You can use the free parking in downtown South Haven and enjoy a walk past the Marina down to the lighthouse.
Q:
where can you park in order to walk out to the lighthouse? is it free?
A:
There is free parking up the hill "in town". Parking down by the beach requires payment.
Q:
Can you actually go into the lighthouse or just see it from the outside?
A:
I am not aware that you can go in. There is a door but it is locked. I would assume no general public entrance. It is a VERY small lighthouse so there would not be a lot to see anyway.
