Visiting Port Washington

Book one of our rental cars in Port Washington and park at the beginning of the pier, which juts about half a mile into Lake Michigan. With the cool lake breeze on your face, the stroll to its end is blissful (Just hang on to your hat!). At the end you'll find the Port Washington Breakwater Light, an art deco lighthouse whose form is well known to locals. Stand in the shade of its massive arch and survey the expansive lake waters; contemplate the invisible bulk of Michigan across all those miles of water and beyond the curve of the horizon, yet linked to you by the same body of water. If you skip a stone from the end of the pier, does the motion carry to the other side? Contemplate the possibilities as you return to shore, where you can browse charming lakefront shops or feast on fish fry in a waterfront cafe.
