The Lighthouse was beautiful and so was the view. The tide pools were well worth the climb down and then back up again. The rocks will roll around under your feet, so if you have some sort of walking or hiking stick, I would advice taking it.

You can’t go inside (at least as of March 2022) but it's totally worth the visit. Cost is $7 for a car. Make sure to see the protected tide pools as they are more impressive then you think. You’ll see harbor seals, hermit crabs, starfishes, sea slugs, sea lemons, etc.

The museum is interesting, you get to learn about the history of the lighthouse and the ecosystem with all the wildlife. The view at the lighthouse is spectacular. During the right seasons, you can see tons of gray whales, seals and birds. This visit we saw a mated pair of peregrine falcons just up the cliff side. A walk down the nearby stairs sends you to a beautiful cobblestone beach. The black polished stones are not only unique but they make a mesmerizing sound as the waves roll them. I go here every time I pass through!

This is a must stop!! My boyfriend and I stopped by on a whim (I recommend purchasing a coastal passport for $10 that gets you into a bunch of other fee-requiring natural areas). The lighthouse was stunning, and the park rangers/staff we met were very kind and educational. The wildlife was incredible!!! I could have explored the tide pools allll day.
