Windpoint Lighthouse - Tourist attraction in Racine - 4725 Lighthouse Dr, USA

Yes, please. After stopping to see the two lighthouses in Racine, this was a very pleasant visit though it was with the last light of the day. Still, the Wind Point LIghthouse was worth the visit. 108 feet tall, it is one of the tallest and oldest lighthouses on the Great Lakes. It remains an active navigational aid though ownership of the property is now held by the Village of Wind Point. Free to visit the property, plenty of parking, a fantastic view and some true history here.

My wife and I absolutely loved visiting this lighthouse and the little museum attached to it. We called in advance which turned out to be a great thing as the visit was able to be aligned with the operators perfectly and in a very short manner. Having an private tour was really fun and informative, the gentleman that gave us the tour was very interesting and informed. It was a very windy day, which seems very appropriate for this kind of visit!

Beautiful! Very relaxing too, had a nice hour or so here. Nice beach and views, the sound of the lake, you name it. There's some fun factoids on the signs so take a little stroll around to see it all and there's a rinse station for feet and dog water bowl.

We had the best time today at the Windpoint Lighthouse. It was so cool to learn about the history of this structure. The land surrounding the lighthouse is also well manicured and beautiful. There are no bad angles for this piece of history. We enjoyed a tour led by the lighthouse keeper, Joseph. We also met his lovely wife, Mary Ann. This is a must see part of Racine. Whether you are a history buff or simply looking for a beautiful view, there’s something here for everyone. Also be sure to stop by the gift shop right near the shore. There are so many cute items to purchase. Cash and card are taken. I really enjoyed the photography prints for purchase in the shop. Overall we loved our visit and I would recommend to anyone. Friendly atmosphere with great people and views!

Stunning! Couldn't go inside or climb the lighthouse (first Sun each month in summer), but there is ample history on the placards around the property. Nice section to walk along Lake Michigan as well.

Swung by for a walk and for the kids to dip their toes in the water. Spent about an hour. Very nice, peaceful. Well-kept grounds including a couple of small gardens. Plenty of parking (probably more than need be). Clean single stall restrooms. A nice place to be for a bit.

I went there in September 2019 and it was a good place to go to and especially when they gave me a tour of the lighthouse and when I go up there the view is great and you can see Lake Michigan. Then they have some nice exhibits

This place is perfect for sight seeing. No entrance fees to pay. The place is very old and the local city did a great job preserving this place. I’ve been here twice and every time I come here there is always a prenup photoshoot because the place is just perfect to do so. They have gardens that have so many beautiful flowers and plants. There is so much story to tell in this place i guess. Yet there is nothing really more to do here but just to see the light house and its surroundings. No stores, cafes, nothing. They also have clean public restrooms available.
