A neat place to see and take pictures on the coastal highway. I would not drive down there just to see it but if you are in the area it is worth a stop.

We visited this lighthouse on March 29th. The ride to the lighthouse six miles into the park was an incredible ride. Many Kodak moments as well as many birds and other wildlife were encountered.

When we go here we something different everytime. The wildlife is abundant, we've seen alligators, horseshoe crabs, dolphins, a baby shark, blow fish, pelicans and many more animals...

It was easy to get to. We saw leather back turtles as well as the lighthouse. It was clean and well taken care of.
maybe a good substitute for golf. this was a big disappointment for me. i was expecting more wildlife and especially birds but no such luck. maybe another time it will be better.
I like the lighthouse but would have really like a closer look inside. The house and the tower are open to visitors. It did make a nice backdrop for photos.
