Washington Park Beach and Lighthouse

Washington Park Lighthouse

 

With two miles of pristine beach, it’s no wonder that the Washington Park Beach and Indiana’s only working lighthouse in Michigan City is a favorite location for the locals.

Walk the pier, stroll the sandy beach, try the fitness path, or have a picnic at the tables.
