From the reviews
The lighthouses are a definite must-see any time of year, but seeing them in the winter for the first time was absolutely INCREDIBLE. They look almost alien lol. The ice formations paired with the sunset tonight were stunning, unlike anything I’ve seen before. Definitely worth braving the cold!
We were on our way home from Holland, Michigan to Middle Tennessee and decided to take a quick stop in Tiscornia Park in St. Joseph to see the lighthouse! It was a blustery, chilly Thursday morning and so hardly anyone was there. We paid $3 to the machine in the parking lot to be able to stay for 1 hour.
Nice park with a beach. There are shelter houses here as well as restroom facilities. I think that the $3 an hour is kind of a steep price.

Getting married at Tiscornia Park - St. Joseph
Tiscornia Park - St. Joseph is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
