Located at the US Coast Guard area, which is very restricted, but there is a small visitor parking area. This area actually has two lighthouses. Lighthouses are not generally something we seek...
Whether by land or water, we always love visiting this impressive lighthouse. Close to downtown Sturgeon Bay and many excellent restaurants and shopping.
This is a US coast guard restricted area, public not allowed. Not sure why this gets so many good ratings unless they are open to the public on specific days? Waste of time driving to.
