It was closed when we were there, as the summer season hadn't started yet, but it still looks cool. The nearby seagulls were hurling crabs against the concrete around the house, so we enjoyed that National Geographic moment quite a bit. Certainly more than the crabs did.

We were at the beach and didn't have any money with us. The caretaker was so nice and let us in for free.

I love returning here, it is such a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of life. Your view is so peaceful, and soothing to the soul.

My husband and I took a stroll down to the lighthouse while on our stay at the Harbor View Hotel. Though the lighthouse was not opened, the views were still beautiful and the beach peaceful. Looking forward to returning when it is open to visitors.

Beautiful setting for this lighthouse. It is just across the street from the HarborView Hotel and is easily accessible with a stroller to a point. This lighthhouse overlooks the bay where much of the movie Jaws was filmed.

Staffed by wonderful volunteers that make you feel welcome. they're all equipped to answer your questions and guide you safely up to the catwalk. It's a great destination before dinner.
