The Light House that moved!

Nice little museum and lighthouse with a story to tell. Erosion of the shore threatened topple the tower into the sea. Through an extraordinary engineering feat it was moved back to safety.

Easy access, a great look at why the light was moved

If you walk past the light to the edge of the cliff, there is a nice educational on why the light was moved. The light itself is beautiful, set close to golfing and a small museum. The walk is maybe a football field from the...More

Interesting Historical Tour

The short climb to the top of the lighthouse is well worth the price of admission and includes two very knowledgeable and personable guides. The view from the top is awesome and the history of this light, and lighthouses in general, was very interesting. It...More

Nice!

This is a nice lighthouse that you can climb to the top. Too many lighthouses have been closed to the public! This lighthouse had to be moved in 1996 due to erosion. Once you are at the top, the view is fantastic!
