Charity Island Light: Take a short cruise from Caseville to Big Charity Island,just one hour to get to this vacation paradise. The island was named by the late mariners for its location, "through the charity of God" midway between the city of AuGres and the Thumb, at the entrance to Saginaw Bay.

Pointe Aux Barques Light: President Polk ordered this lighthouse built in 1857 to guard ships from some of the most treacherous shoals in the Great Lakes. Many sailing ships were destroyed here "cutting the corner" into Saginaw Bay. The lighthouse was automated in 1957 and is still in service, but the keepers residence is now a museum, and the grounds are lovely. It's in a 120 acre park with modern camping.

Pointe Aux Barques Life Saving Station at Huron City Museum: Completed in 1876, it was scheduled for demolition when that era ended. It was preserved and houses a remarkably complete collection of LSS equipment and artifacts, and even boasts a filed reenactment of the training drills of the courageous surfmen.

Port Austin Reef Light: The lighthouse was constructed in 1878, abandoned in 1953, and left to rapidly deteriorate. It is now under lease to the Port Austin Reef Lighthouse Association until the year 2020. After a truly heroic effort by the group to oust the resident flock of at least 500 pigeons, the building was reroofed, bird proofed and reclaimed for mankind. Renovations continue.

Harbor Beach Breakwater Light: The Harbor Beach Lighthouse first showed it light in 1885. It was constructed to replace an earlier skeletal structure. The light was built to guide ships into the government Harbor of Refuge constructed at Sand Beach, later named Harbor Beach. The light is a conical structure with seven decks. A Basement level contained a stove and was used for storage. The first deck was the living quarters with a cook stove, sink and a pantry. The second and third decks were sleeping quarters, while the forth and fifth decks were working areas. The uppermost deck is the lantern room where the red and white rotating lamp is mounted. The Harbor Beach Lighthouse is an active Coast Guard navigational beacon, maintained by the Harbor Beach Lighthouse Preservation Society.
