Whitefish Point Lighthouse and Shipwreck Museum

A lighthouse, bird observatory and shipwreck museum sit at the tip of Whitefish Point, jutting into Lake Superior. The museum covers the Edmund Fitzgerald and other wrecks. The beach is good for hunting for smooth stones and, in spring and autumn, migrating birds.
