Great Getaways #1110 Tawas Bay Circle Tour (Full Episode) - Tawas City, East Tawas & The Tawas Bay Area, Michigan
[Travel Planner -
Newman Street in downtown East Tawas offers an especially appealing and pedestrian friendly experience, with beautifully landscaped greenbelt areas and tree-lined sidewalks featuring brick pavers and exposed aggregate concrete; all finished off with decorative street lamps, bike racks, benches, street-level planters and hanging floral baskets. Newman Street's inviting atmosphere extends right down to the waterfront, where East Tawas City Park and the East Tawas State Harbor Dock are a hub of the area's recreational opportunities.

Tawas Point Lighthouse in 4K Cinematic with Parrot Anafi.
Tawas Point Light is located in the Tawas Point State Park off Tawas Bay in Lake Huron in Baldwin Township in Northern Michigan.
In 1850, Congress appropriated $5,000 for the construction of a lighthouse. In 1852, construction started, and the lighthouse was commissioned in 1853. After the lighthouse was built, many problems were encountered. Shifting sands caused the point to be extended by nearly a mile. The original light was a 5th Order Fresnel lens, later upgraded when the building was replaced.

In 1867, the Inspector of the lighthouse said that the lighthouse was wearing down to the point where they should consider renovating it. The Lighthouse Board ignored his request to put more money in the lighthouse because they had bigger problems at hand in Ottawa Point. The waves caused sand build-up by the Point, which added almost a mile, more of land. The lighthouse was so far inland that mariners were unable to see the lighthouse's light. To add to the problem this lighthouse was known for its dim light. With all these problems combined, it caused a shipwreck from Captain Olmstead's schooner Dolphin. He blamed the lighthouse stating that it was too dim to see the light. This caused the Lighthouse board to reconsider their option at renovating or rebuilding a new one. In 1875 Congress approved a $30,000 amount for a brand new lighthouse. They finished building the lighthouse sometime in 1877.
It was originally known as Ottawa Point. The name was officially changed to Tawas Point in 1902. The point is a substantial hazard to navigation. Additionally, because it is tucked behind the point, Tawas Bay is an ideal shelter from storms, wind and waves out of the north and northeast. The point juts out into Lake Huron, and has been getting much larger over time. A map is available, which shows the accretion. The original light was begun in 1852, and completed in 1853. The light was fueled at various times by lard oil, then kerosene, and the current light is of course now electric. This is the second lighthouse on the point.
The tower is 70 feet (21 m) tall including the base, with a diameter at base of 16 feet (4.9 m) and a diameter at parapet of 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m) It is constructed of a brick outer wall, and an inner wall: 24 inches/8 inches thick, respectively. There is an air space between walls of 24 inches (610 mm). The tower has in place a Fourth Order Fresnel lens. The light can be seen for 16 miles (26 km), and has a lens focal plane 70 feet (21 m) above Lake Huron's average water level. The Keeper’s House is 43 feet (13 m) long and 26 feet (7.9 m) wide.
It is currently being remodeled by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, with the assistance and contributions of the Friends of Tawas Point State Park. The downstairs eventually will become a museum for the lighthouse and the upstairs becoming a mini-cabin available for rent by the public. The house is itself available for one and two week stays (for a fee, and with an agreement to act as a trained volunteer). Volunteer keepers will stay for up to two weeks.
Because of its popularity, picturesque form and location, it is often the subject of photographs, and even of needlepoint illustrations.
The Tawas lifesaving station has recently been saved and renovation continues.
The Fresnel lens is still operative, being one of Only 70 such lenses that remain operational in the United States, sixteen of which are use on the Great Lakes of which eight are in Michigan.
In October 2015, the Coast Guard announced that it would remove the Fresnel lens and replace it with a modern optic beacon. But after public comments, the lens remains in place.

Beach (Sand) Wrestling, 5 Match Montage, East Tawas, Michigan 8/16/2015
Five matches from week 4 of the MI-USA Wrestling 2015 Beach Wrestling Series. Matches featuring action from the Middle School and High School divisions.
The first to score 5 points within the 3 minute time limit is the winner (modified from the official international rules of the first to 3 points). One point for a push-out (opponent goes out-of-bounds), one point for a takedown, and two points for a takedown w/ back exposure.
No points are awarded for a double push-out (both wrestlers go out at the same time), or for a stalemate (when the action stops while the wrestlers are scrambling in the sand). After each stop by the referee (scoring and non-scoring), the wrestlers are returned to the standing position and the match continues. No points for back exposure without a takedown, and no pins (via the international rule modifications set forth in January, 2015)

100,000 migratory waterfowl spend the winter in the National Wildlife Refuges along the North Carolina coast. The three month visit is spectacular to watch, but it also gives scientists valuable insights into the health of the bird populations.
