Michigan Shoreline Lighthouses

In this video of Michigan Lighthouse we go around the perimeter of the state starting with the east coast to the northern coast and down the west coast. We used a Phantom 4 Pro V2 which is available here https://amzn.to/2wEbHTq. We also used a goPro Hero 6 available here https://amzn.to/2PAGU1O. We mounted the Go Pro with Ram Mounts.

This is by no means a complete tour of lighthouses in Michigan as there are 124 remaining lighthouses. In this video we shot 10 of the 13 major lighthouses along the shoreline. We skipped T\the two near Traverse City (Grand Traverse & Old Mission), simply because it was several miles up a island to get to them and did not have the time. We also skipped Grand Haven South Pierhead Inner Light because it was raining when we drove thorough there.

Although the video starts with a sunrise over the Mackinac Bridge, we started the tour of lighthouse on the south eastern coast in Port Huron, Fort Gratiot Lighthouse which as a 1829 military fort. On the drive up the coast between Fort Gratiot & Sturgeon Point was a great Mexicon Food Trailer, Tony's Tacos, Authentic Mexican Food, in Standish, MI. I highly reccomend stopping there, sure beats the typical fast food chains.

Some of our favorites were Big Sable Point & Little Sable Point, both over 100 feet and on the pristine part of the Beach. It is a 2 mile walk to Big Sable Point, as you'll see us in the video. Also the drive from Port Betsie to Big Sable Point was inpressive. Our GPS took us though some of the dirt roads of truly "Pure Michigan". At times I wondered if my GPS was guiding me right, but it was. It was an enjoyable ride as you'll see my Toy Poodle, Bella enjoying the scenery as well.

We started and eneded with a sunset at Mackinaw City on the northern coast. We will be posting a separate video showing Mackinac City. This is a great area to spend a weekend, plenty of hotels. It has 2 lighthouses. The most impressive of the two lighthouses is Old Mackinac Point which is part of Historic Colonial Michilimackinac. The other Lighthouse in Mackinac City is McGulpin Point which was about 3 miles away from the main downtown area of Mackinac City, and kind of secluded in a forest.

The other Lighthouses on east coast we feature are 40 Mile Point Lighthouse in Rogers City and the New Presque Isle and Old Presque Isle Lighthouse. Currenlty the Old Presque Isle is not open to the public. The Sturgeon Point Lighthouse is very similiar to the New Presque Isle Lighthouse. The other we feature on the west coast, probably technically is not big enough to be considered a lighthouse is the Charlevoix South Pier Light Station.
