Port Clinton Lighthouse

Michael Hillman

Saw the lighthouse while driving through Port Clinton and decided to stop. My first impression was that it was not a real lighthouse because it is not very tall. But after reading the historical marker, you find out this was originally located on the river to mark the entrance to it. Then it all makes sense! We went during the week, but if you visit on a Saturday, then tours of the lighthouse will be available. The lighthouse sits in a park with a small sandy beach next to it. So this would be a great spot for a picnic and a dip in Lake Erie. There are several picnic tables and benches. There is a a pond with a walkway around it for bird watching. Very clean park and very well maintained.

Well.. first impressions are like the light house is little small or maybe i hoped it would be a big tower. Nice little park for a walk, beach access area and the bid watching trail inside it. I've visited during the early summer and the park wasn't crowded at all. I was actually surprised on it. The beach area was clean, nice and the benches close to the beach was a huge plus just to dry ourself. I just felt that the beach access area was small but that would be a big concern when the area is crowded. I'll recommend this place and will visit again.

If your in the area. It's a beautiful little stop. There a little beach with sand and water you can swim or fish. There a little peir to walk out on. Great for photos and relaxing. Or to eat a nice little packed lunch.

Absolutely beautiful view! We went when it was cold out but the beach looks like an awesome place to swim and the Lighthouse is an absolute must see. Hope to come back during tour times to learn a bit more about it.
