Grand Haven South Pierhead Inner Light, Maritime beacon at Grand Haven pier, United States
The red conical tower of the Grand Haven South Pierhead Inner Light extends 15 meters above Lake Michigan at the Grand River entrance.
Originally established in 1881, the lighthouse continues its maritime safety mission under the U.S. Coast Guard, guiding vessels through Lake Michigan's waters.
The Grand Haven lighthouse represents Michigan's maritime traditions and stands as a testament to the region's connection with Great Lakes navigation.
The lighthouse exhibits an occulting red light every four seconds, with a range of three nautical miles, providing essential navigation assistance.
The structure operates alongside a companion outer light, forming a pair of beacons that mark the entrance to the Grand River from Lake Michigan.
