Michigan City Breakwater Light

Standing at the end of a long concrete breakwater on Lake Michigan, the Michigan City Breakwater Light has guided vessels into the harbor since 1904. Its distinctive red steel tower and attached elevated catwalk make it one of the most photographed lighthouses on the southern Lake Michigan shore. Now decommissioned, the light is not open to the public and cannot be climbed, but it remains a striking landmark visible from Washington Park beach. Sunrise and golden hour offer the best photography, with dramatic lake backdrops. Nearby, visitors can explore the Old Lighthouse Museum, Washington Park Zoo, and the Indiana Dunes National Park, just minutes to the west.
