Harbor Beach Light

The Harbor Beach Lighthouse was built in 1885 and stands 54 feet above the water. It was placed on the Northern side of the Harbor entrance. The super structure is of iron and concrete construction. It has a rotating white light with 20,000 candlepower with a visibility of 21 miles.

Update 2006 by Terry Pepper
The Harbor Beach Lighthouse Preservation Society (HBLPS) has been formed and restoration efforts are underway. The light has been water-proofed, well ventilated and the interior walls, floors and windows restored to their original appearance. The Society is now seeking donations of period-correct furniture with which to refurnish the decks that made up the station living quarters. The society has applied for ownership through the NHLPA. \For additional information, contact Pamela Semp at the Corner Store in Harbor Beach 989-479-3321, or visit the lighthouse section on www.hbcornerstore.com.
