Aerial Photo of Empire Beach with Robert H Manning Memorial Lighthouse

Empire Beach is located near the village of Empire about 7 miles southwest of Glen Arbor on the shores of Lake Michigan in Leelanau County in Michigan's lower peninsula. This aerial photo was taken on a summer evening facing north. East of the beach we can see South Bar Lake, and to the north we can see Sleeping Bear Dunes and South Manitou Island. The Robert H. Manning Memorial Lighthouse is also visible on the beach just north of the parking lot.
