The museum & gift store were closed when we were there. The parking area was for vehicles, wouldn't recommend RVs going back there. It's a short walk to the lighthouse, many stairs to get up to the lighthouse but worth it. Gorgeous views! The grounds are well kept and worth the short walk. Pets are not allowed up there. Signs are posted.There is walking trails that are accessible from the parking area and the normal leash laws are posted for that.Trash is Pack In Pack Out.Few picnic tables at the parking area.

Great views! It's about a 1/3 mile walk through the woods, then a 2-story climb to the lighthouse. The views are great all the way. There is a very small artifact room and gift shop.Small rough dirt parking lot.

Fun little squat lighthouse with a LOUD foghorn. Scenic, short hike out to the light with glimpses of rocky beaches and the surrounding bay. Such a cool place.

It's a fairly short walk, .25 mi, from the parking lot to the lighthouse. But be warned, there are quite a few stairs to climb if you want to get up close to the lighthouse. You can view it without climbing the stairs though.There is a small museum and gift shop that was open when we visited on a Thursday afternoon.Expansive views of the bay await you from the grounds surrounding the lighthouse and from the small beach that can be reached by taking the left fork in the path.

Nice easy walk in and well maintained stairs. Easy climb to the light but about 4 steps of a metal ladder at the top so keep that in mind. This is manned by volunteers and donations are welcomed.The day we were there the weather and veiw were perfect.Parking: The parking area is a dirt wooded lot with some picnic tables.

Short beautiful walk from the parking area to the lighthouse. The inside of the lighthouse is not accessible but the view of the ocean and islands is gorgeous. The small gift shop and small museum are simple, and the lady there was very informative. There are also a few trails that lead off the main lighthouse trail to picnic tables and I believe a swimming area. All together we spent about 45 mins-1hr just visiting the lighthouse.

Absolutely stunning. I was in shock at the beauty of this place and the views it offers. Be prepared to walk a little bit to get the lighthouse, but it is totally worth it. It's not far from where you park. There is so much to explore and many opportunities for really good photos. My husband and I found a little beach area and enjoyed the peace and beauty. There is a grassy area and a few benches to sit on as well. This is worth the time out of your day to visit.

Super cute little lighthouse with AMAZING VIEWS! When you go up, there is a trial on the opposite side that can be easy to miss. Definitely recommend it if you can physically do it- can be steep and rocky but it takes you down to the water. No fee to get into the park.

So beautiful. The views are amazing! The walk is really not that bad, and that s coming from a fluffy chick with not great knees. Stop at the little gift shop too, it s worth it and the lady working there is super sweet!
