Muskegon Lighthouses are an essential part of our Shoreline City’s maritime history since 1851.

South Pierhead Lighthouse (1903) and South Breakwater Lighthouse (1931) retain 20th century history, kept safe in our present time and guide us to our future.

Come say hi to our Keepers this SATURDAY!

We’ll have our booth set up across from the Marine Tap Room. Drop by to get the absolute latest updates on our Breakwater Light renovations, grab an official "Save Our Light" T-shirt, see how you can get involved, or make a donation to the cause. Every bit helps preserve our local history.

Come out, say hello, and help us Support Lakeside!

Remember walking down the Muskegon pier as a child, feeling the lake breeze, and looking up at the iconic South Breakwater Light? Those core memories belong to our future generations, too—but only if we act today. The historic Muskegon Breakwater Lighthouse needs our help. To secure its restoration, we must reach our $1.6M funding goal before the end of 2026. The incredible news? We are within $100,000 of making this a reality! We are in the final stretch, Muskegon. Your donation today ensures that our great-grandchildren will enjoy the same walks, the same sunsets, and the same historic beacon that we fell in love with. Donate generously today at: SaveOurLight.org.
