Absolutely gorgeous view! I walked along the walkway and you can even have a nice picnic on the grass or even bring some food to toss on the grill. You can walk down the dock to get alittle closer to the water. There's huge rocks you can climb across to try to look for sea creatures or seashells. When low tide you can climb down the rocks down to the beach. But once the ride comes up, I recommend you climb back up the rocks to the grass up above. You can see mountains behind the lighthouse and really a 180degree of beauty. Just stunning absolutely stunning! I highly recommend anyone that loves to look at mother nature's beauty at its finest...go here! I will not let you down on this! It's peaceful and definitely puts a huge smile on anyone's face that's goes there. 😁♥️

We didn't get to see this lighthouse because Google Maps brought us someplace else. It may have been close by but we didn't have time to try to find it. Very disappointing. Beautiful area though, nice ride.

This gorgeous lighthouse is well worth the visit. The location is beautiful and has plenty of good photo opportunities and the staff are friendly and informative. You can go to the top on a guided tour, but be aware that they are only only open on certain days. The lighthouse is also located on a coast guard site which you have to walk through.

Good place to visit!! We learned about the area, the light house, and some history. Really enjoyed it. It's all donation.

Questions & Answers

When did the roof change from green to red?

The red roof on the white keeper's house is a typical Coast Guard color scheme, and I believe it dates back to around the time the Coast Guard took over management of lighthouses (1939). I can't give you an exact year.

Is there anywhere for non residents to see this lighthouse? We couldn’t find non resident parking when we went
