The Sand Point Lighthouse is located in Ludington Park at Escanaba, on the northeast shore of Lake Michigan, serving mariners continuously from 1868 until 1939.
When this lighthouse was built in 1867 it was at the waters edge and warned the ships off Sand Point and the sand reef which reached out into Little Bay De Noc. The attached brick tower was topped by a cast iron lantern room which housed a fourth order Fresnel lens. The light, a fixed red signal, first shown on the night of May 13, 1868.
