    Rendez'vous Tiki Lounge

    Start with a fruity cocktail at Rendez'vous Tiki Lounge. The tiki theme is fun, though be aware that several bartenders tend to be heavy-handed with the pour. It is a relaxed spot to unwind before the evening rush.

    Kenosha North Pierhead Light

    Walk northeast to the Kenosha North Pierhead Light. This iconic red tower is a classic Lake Michigan landmark. Stand near the pierhead and face west to catch the final moments of daylight.

    Kenosha North Pierhead Light

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The light fades quickly here, painting the water and the lighthouse in warm tones. Stay for a few minutes as the sky shifts from gold to deep blue.

    Captain Mike's

    End the night with a burger at Captain Mike's. This nautical-themed bar and grill is a short walk away. The burgers have unique topping combinations, and the mac 'n' cheese is excellent. It is a great place to digest the view and enjoy a hearty meal.
