Took a nice tour up the lighthouse. 95 taircase steps plus 9 ladder steps tp find yourself on the top pf the lighthouse. Jane , our tour guide was amazing and answered all of our questions. The view is amazing as well. If you are curious about lighthoises and how they work and what its like to be insde one, then definetly take the tour. It is a free tour that runs about every 30 or so minutes. You can register inside the visitors center in the gift shop.
