Fox Island Lighthouse

Lighthouses · Traverse City, MI

Fox Island Lighthouse sits on a tiny island just off the Leelanau Peninsula, and trust me, it's worth the short boat ride to get there. This charming 1930s lighthouse isn't your typical towering beacon - it's more like a cozy cottage with a light on top. The kids will love exploring the rocky shoreline while you soak up those incredible Lake Michigan views. Pack a picnic and make a day of it. The island itself is small enough to explore in an hour, but you'll want to linger just to watch the waves crash against the rocks.
