Tiscornia Beach

This location screams beach charm meets iconic architecture. The dunes and beach grass lead your eye towards the water. The trees look like you aren't even located in the Midwest. The St. Joseph North Pier Lighthouse adds that classic coastal character right on the edge of Lake Michigan. That sunset (and sunrise) light offers a stunning Midwest color and mood to your photos. It's perfect for couples who want that timeless, romantic feel.
