About

Sheboygan Breakwater Lighthouse is a tourist attraction in Sheboygan. We offer visitors a walk along the breakwater, leading to the lighthouse with views of Lake Michigan and the city skyline. Our lighthouse, originally established in 1839, is located at the mouth of the Sheboygan River. It began operation with a conical brick tower and a one-and-a-half-story keeper's dwelling. In 1857, a fifth-order Fresnel lens was installed in the lantern room, projecting light eighty feet above Lake Michigan. The current structure, a replacement from 1860, features a frame building with a lantern on its roof.

Nice walk out to the light house, pretty cool on a windy day when the waves are crashing into the walkway.

Well worth the walk if the weather is clear and low wind. What a spectacular view of the lake and the city!

The long walk to the lighthouse is worth it especially on a sunny and not too breezy day. The lighthouse itself is larger than expected once you finally reach it. You get great views of the shoreline from the lighthouse, seeing the towers and church steeples of Sheboygan peaking out over the tree line. The first section of the causeway is fairly uneven ground so be careful

My sister and I had lots of fun here. The walk to the light house was amazing and the weather was beautiful! A must see and experience place. A nice way to get out and enjoy life!

A bit of a walk but it was good. Do not recommend going out on a windy day, the waves will go over the walkway and could push you into the lake. Interesting to see the lighthouse. You can't go inside the lighthouse.
