The lighthouse was built in 1865 in order to help ships avoid the dangerous shoals that extend roughly 2 miles out from the peninsula. There was once a lighthouse keepers house attached to the tower, but was destroyed in a fire in 1959. The tower still stands today and tourists are allowed to climb the 40 foot spiral staircase to view Lake Michigan.

Located just nearby are toilets, picnic tables, and grills. In the surrounding shorelines you can find fossils that date to between 400-500 million years old.
