Established in 1839, two lights on the south pier, both painted red, are connected by a lighted catwalk that also connects them to the shore and the Grand Haven Boardwalk. The inner light is cylindrical, and the foghouse outer light stands on a huge concrete foundation. People often enjoy a stroll along the boardwalk that borders the Grand River channel and the pier, making the Grand Haven lighthouses the most photographed lighthouses in Michigan. The Grand Haven pier is also a popular spot for fishing and catching the sunset.
In the winter, the lights are pounded by icy waves creating a surreal environmnet.
