Manitowoc North Breakwater Lighthouse - Tourist attraction in Manitowoc - , USA

Historic and sceanic place to visit. We talked with Paul, one of the volunteers of the Rotary club helping to maintain the lighthouse. You can visit 4 of the 5 floors that include details and facts on each floor. Donations are suggested but not pushed. It is a bit of a walk but well kept walkway. The last 100 feet is narrow and close to the water.

An early morning walk out to the lighthouse is the perfect way to start the day. The cool breeze, abundance of sunshine, beautiful surroundings and sound of the waves contribute to the peaceful vibe. It's well worth getting up early to have the place all to yourself.

Important: Parking to access this place is near the light house pavilion and over the little island. The "dog park" is also there near the other end of said island but is only a fenced in area. It's a very pretty small island and leading up to the Lighthouse having water on both sides is an enjoyable moment for everyone who likes to be near the water.

Beautiful place to walk the pups! It has a great view of the light house with a dog park nearby and a beach too!!

Can be accessed from a public peer, however, the building itself is privately owned.

Amazing place to go for a walk, run, go to the beach, or let your dogs run. There is a closed off dog run area. Light house is awesome and you can walk all the way out to it. Waves crashing, beautiful sights and sounds. I’ve seen some launch their kayaks here. There are plenty of events close to the light house in the summertime. Light house tours on July 4th as the inside isn’t open to the public. Now you can! Very awesome to get out here when the sun is setting for pictures and to clear your mind!

One of coolest spots in Manitowac to watch the Badger come into port. The lighthouse is easily accessible most days though sometimes you’ll end up with wet feet.

Take the path via the beach and rocks on the north side of the area if possible (clockwise), as there are mpre birds, prarie, and wildflowers that way. I crossed with a bit of a swell but its still doable. The lighthouse is only open about once a month apparently but at least they leave the stairs open! Very well maintaining and excellent view. Lots of art on the rocks!
