Sand Point Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in Escanaba, Michigan. The lighthouse was built in 1867 and is situated on the rocky shores of Lake Michigan. It is a cylindrical tower that stands 44 feet tall and is made of brick and stone. The lighthouse was designed to guide ships safely through the waters of Lake Michigan and to protect them from the treacherous rocks along the shoreline.

The lighthouse is still an active aid to navigation today, although its original Fresnel lens has been replaced by a modern, automated light. The lighthouse also serves as a museum, showcasing the history of the lighthouse and the local area. Visitors can tour the lighthouse and climb to the top, where they can enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Michigan and the surrounding area.

The lighthouse is surrounded by picturesque grounds that are open to the public. Visitors can stroll along the shoreline, relax in the picnic area, or explore the nearby nature trails. The lighthouse is open to visitors from May through October and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. It is a historic landmark that has played an important role in the maritime history of the Great Lakes region.
