If the Big Sable Point Lighthouse is a historic attraction, the Ludington North Breakwater Light is the focal point of Ludington. Located on the north breakwater pier in the meeting point of Lake Michigan and Pere Marquette River, it offers a great vantage point for watching the S.S. Badger carferry on Lake Michigan or the sunset. People love to take a walk on the mile-long route from the breakwall to the light, which is also a popular fishing venue. The pyramid-shaped tower has three decks, lantern rooms, several windows, and plenty of pictures for visitors to explore. Reaching to the top requires climbing 53 steps, and the reward is spectacular views of Ludington harbor.
