The landscape, view, colors, and overall experience was worth a stroll around the light house. We actually took several walks and jogs through rincon and they were all nice. The light house was a nice area and wasnt too crowded when we went. More

View is very nice looking out over the water. Just different to see the waves moving in a few different directions. Fun to watch the surfers catch the waves when it is a little rough out there. More

Best lighthouse park I have even enjoyed from Prince Edward Island, thru the Chesapeake Bay to St. Augustine, FL. Watching whales, beach bunnies and surfer dudes and dudettes are in abundance. More

It was a really fun surfing experience, especially in the beautiful location. It felt very safe with the instructors who were very protective of us in the ruf waters. It was my first time with a surfing board but I didn't feel afraid of the waves for a moment. Everyone was very friendly and happy to work with us. More

The place has a great sea view but the lighthouse itself is abandoned. What a shame! More
