Windpoint Lighthouse
2 reviews for Windpoint Lighthouse
Beautiful lighthouse and beach to check out north of Racine, if you're taking the scenic route south of Milwaukee along the lakefront. Will note the turnoff for this lighthouse off the highway is a little tricky to find, but it's south of where 4 Mile Road ends and curves to become Lighthouse Drive, and north of a parking lot for a golf course just to the south of here(and the INCORRECT turnoff from the highway). Just basically look for a small sign for the Wind Point village hall and police station, and after you park, it's right there.
Sad to discover after checking the website, that lighthouse tours are only given 3 times a year! (only given on the first Sundays of July, August, and September, and just costs $10) But it's something I wouldn't mind going out of my way to do in a future year, if I'm ever near Racine again on one of those Sundays.
If you enjoy the lake front, history, light houses, architectures or tours of any kind, the Windpoint Lighthouse is a nice 2 hour diversion to take advantage of. The lighthouse holds a lot of history for Lake Michigan and you can advantage of the free tours offered. If you're in the area and it's a nice day, go drive by and check it out.
