I feel bad for anyone who has NOT visited the Great Lakes. Beautiful Lake Huron.

4/11

Lake St Claire.

Want the view? Climb for it. 🌊

Little Sable Point Lighthouse is one of those Michigan stops where the small admission fee is absolutely worth it.

Climb the 139 steps to the top, and you’ll get a whole new perspective on Lake Michigan, Silver Lake, and the surrounding dunes.

A little effort. A small charge. A seriously good view.

And yes, your legs may have an opinion about those stairs. 😂

Would you climb it?

Lovely day and a relaxing Sunday a few weekends back.

Canal Leading into Lake St Claire from Metro Beach

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?
