Around the Harbor
Worth the walk after you tie up
Fairport Harbor is a lighthouse town with a real beach at the end of the street.
West Breakwater Lighthouse
The 1925 red-roofed light at the harbor entrance — it marked its 100th year in 2025 and still lights at dusk.
Marine Museum & Lighthouse
The 1871 Grand River Light and keeper’s house — the first Great Lakes lighthouse marine museum in the country, tower climbs included.
Lakefront Park Beach
A clean, sandy Lake Erie beach with a boardwalk and playground — lifeguards in summer, beach glass year-round.
Fairport Mardi Gras
The village’s famous Independence-Day festival since 1941 — parade, rides, and fireworks.
