The lighthouse and beach is gorgeous. At night the pier is lit up. During our stay in South Haven( end of March) it was chilly and there were high waves. Visiting here a lot of shops weren’t open …Full review by Kristian R

The light house walkway juts out from the south beach side, in Lake Michigan. The TA pin is too far inland. You can easily walk out to the lighthouse from parking areas on the south beach side. It is not handicapped assessable though.
any recommendation for pace to stay close to the light house?

There are no hotels right by the lighthouse in South Haven. There is one on the water in town, but up by all the shops, Old Harbor Inn. You can get a little view/camera shot from …
There are no hotels right by the lighthouse in South Haven. There is one on the water in town, but up by all the shops, Old Harbor Inn. You can get a little view/camera shot from Lake Bluff Inn & Suites on their observation deck. That is where we stayed. Stingy on the coffee-creamer-sugars for in room use, and they serve breakfast late. My husband and I are early risers. Clean though!
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.
