Look at the Hotels in South Haven. They run from $67.00 per night up as far as you want to go. No hotel in South Haven proper is far from anything one would like to do or see. Park at the South Beach parking lot for a nominal fee, honesty system.

Q:
where can you park in order to walk out to the lighthouse? is it free?
A:
When we went, we parked on a side street that had meters. However, we got there right about 5pm, when they stopped charging at the meters.
A:
Q:
Can you actually go into the lighthouse or just see it from the outside?
A:
I am not aware that you can go in. There is a door but it is locked. I would assume no general public entrance. It is a VERY small lighthouse so there would not be a lot to see anyway.
