A Bit of History

We climbed the ship's ladder to the first floor and heard an interesting tour guide provide the history and how the lighthouse was built. You can also sign up for the full tour which leads you to the top of the structure. Free.

Weekends Only

Apparently this place is only available for tours on the weekends & with a reservation. Kind of a bummer since we had a wedding to go to that basically took up the whole of the weekend, so we couldn't go. It looks pretty cool from...More

Outstanding

Unfortunately I did not make a reservation to go to the top but the Volunteer let us in to look around the first level and gave information about the lighthouse.

Bad experience

There was no parking and the guy wouldn't let anyone do a tour unless you had reservation but the site said you didn't need one.

Worth the time: Gret views, nice tour and informational, yet fun

First thing you will need to know is that this is a do-able climb, provided you can get over the optics of long ladders in a narrow tube. It is very safe as long as you pace yourself. That said, the view and the tour...More
