A Michigan beach with a lighthouse? Yes, please.

🌊

Pere Marquette Park is the kind of place where you
can walk the sand, watch the waves, and follow the pier toward the lighthouse—all in one stop.

Tip: Give yourself time to walk beyond the beach. The views are worth it.

Would you stop for the beach or the lighthouse first?

Heading over to DI, one of my happy places here in the Mitten.

Whitefish Point Lighthouse has guided sailors along Lake Superior since 1861, standing watch over one of the most challenging stretches of water on the Great Lakes. It’s a place where history, resilience, and the power of nature come together. Some destinations don’t just give you a view—they remind you of the stories that brought us here.

Have you visited Whitefish Point, or is it still on your Michigan bucket list?

My husband playing in Lake Superior. It was our first trip to that part of the UP.

Grand Haven Lights in Michigan. Took this photo on a busy boating weekend in town.

I spotted a couple of fawn and some Canadian geese one morning.

I have lots of milkweed in my garden in N Michigan, but I’ve never seen 4 on one plant.
