Point Betsie Lighthouse
This oldest standing structure in Benzie County, built in 1858, marks the all-important entrance to southern end of the Manitou Passage, a once-vital maritime shipping channel. Although the lane is no longer used by large commercial vessels, the operating light signal remains a US Coast Guard aid to navigation to this day, and the site shines as a treasured landmark to mariners and landlubbers alike. The public beach adjacent to the site is easily accessed, although roadside parking is problematic and the Assistant Lightkeepers Quarter is now available for weekly rentals in season.
