An interesting park like setting with numerous old buildings to explore. Most were closed for the season but highly recommend the walk to the Lake Michigan shoreline. The lighthouse tower is wide open to visitors and the climb to the top does offer some nice views. But be aware, the stairs are circular, very narrow, no guard railing on the inside of the curve, and getting into the upper deck where the lens once sat means crawling through a tiny hatch. Not a journey for those with a sense of vertigo; and somewhat frightening even for those without.

No, the Beaver Haed light at the south end if the island was decommissioned in 1962

I wanted to know if my grandfather, Francis Deto or father, Joseph Deto, both Coast Guards, ever served at that lighthouse?

The Beaver Island Marine Museum may have the answer to your question as well about who worked at the Lighthouse. They will be open again in the spring. Closed for the season.
