Which lighthouses have their own gift shops on the grounds?

No limit on how many you can post at one time. If you know, please indicate if they carry Harbour Lights and/or Little Lights. You might be able to check the dealer list at www.HarbourLights.com.

I'll start with a newly opened lighthouse and include a couple of others from my trip to the Michigan Regional:

Pt Betsie, MI - in one of the station's out-buildings. T-shirts, pins, post cards, surprising amount of stuff for just having opened.

White River, MI - within the lighthouse. I believe they carried HL, not sure though.

Old Michigan City, IN - Within the lighthouse. A few things. Not sure about HLs.

I'll do some in the Southeast:

Ponce Inlet, Florida - Got to be one of the biggest gift shops at a lighthouse! Harbour Lights - yes!

St. Augustine, Florida - Nice size gift shop, not quite as big as Ponce! Harbour Lights - yes!

St. Simons, Georgia - Not large, but a nice array of gifts! Harbour Lights - yes!

I'll do a couple from the Midwest.

Grosse Point, IL - very small gift shop (books and pictures). no HLs

Old Michigan City, IN - I know John listed it but just to clarify, no HL's (Appears I stand corrected - didn't see them last time I was up there)

Big Sable Point, MI - Nice little gift shop, HL#228 for sale.

John, Old Michigan City has the HL712 Limited Edition Christmas Lighthouse, the Little Lights Pier (LL142) and Old Michigan City (LL212) lighthouses and the Old Michigan City (HL715) Christmas ornament..

I can think of 2 off the top of my head...

Currituck (at least it did...not sure how this legal wrangling will affect it...) and Key West. The last time I was there (summer of 2001), they both had gift shops that sold HLs. Key West had only a few (Ft. Jefferson and a couple others), so I am not sure if they still sell them.

Maybe someone can confirm this...

Here's some more southeast...

New & Old Cape Henry ...newly enlarged gift shop with Harbour Lights

Tybee Island Lighthouse nice size gift shop with Harbour Lights

Yes on Currituck!...Harbour Lights definitely

Hooper Strait... great gift shop w/some Harbour Lights

Seven Foot Knoll...small gift shop

Hunting Island...nice gift shop;not sure about HL's

Hi John,

Here are some of the Michigan ones I know off the top of my head:

Whitefish Point...Huge!

Point Iriquois

Eagle Harbor

Sand Hill B&B - he sells novelty items.

Grand Traverse

New Presque Isle

Escanaba ?

Seul Choix - good sized.

A lot of these are seasonal, due to weather.

If I think of more I'll post them.

Portland Head, ME- I don't think they had HL
Boca Grande, FL- They had the HL of Boca Grande
Point Allerton LSS, MA- Had the HL of Point Allerton

Jim's post just reminded me of this one...

Chicamacomico LSS ...had the HL286

Novia Scotia Peggy's Cove-large gift shops all around the lighthouse. Inside of Peggy's Cove is the Post Office.

Ft. Niagara has a small one.

Charlotte-Genesee has one a bit larger.

Selkirk has a large one in a separate building. There are a couple Selkirk HL's there. Don't know if they're for sale.

Dunkirk has quite a large one in a separate building. Can't recall if they had HL's.

Saugerties did have the Saugerties HL for sale when we were there in 1999.

Tibbets Point has one in a separate building.

Esopus Meadows doesn't have a gift shop but they set up a bunch of stuff to sell during various events. They did have the Esopus Meadows HL for sale last fall.

Horton Point, NY
Marshall Point, ME

Adding to the Jen's list of Michigan lights with giftshops at the location:

* Old Mackinac Point - not sure if carry any HLs
* Presque Isle - pretty sure they had some Michigan HLs
* Big Sable - nice giftshop staffed by volunteers; nice selection & pretty sure they had replica lighthouses
* Sand Point (Escanaba) - small / only thing I can recall are postcards

Tawas Point in Michigan has one in a small building behind the light.

OCRACOKE IS VIEWING ONLY I UNDERSTAND THAT IT HAS BEEN SOLD AND IS NOW PRIVATE PROPERTY THE LIGHT IS MAINTAINED BY THE COAST GUARD.

A LOCAL STORE VERY NEARBY SELLS SOME LOCAL ARTS AND CRAFTS OF THE LIGHTHOUSE. NO HARBOUR LIGHTS

This needs to be clarified. Ocracoke has not been sold. Ownership was transferred from the Coast Guard and Ocracoke has now come into the Cape Hatteras National Seashore; the National Park Service is making plans for its care.

There has never been a gift shop attached to the lighthouse grounds, but there are many gift shops all over the island.
