Such an adorable lighthouse. It’s a half mile walk from the parking lot. Review the tide schedule before you go. You can only visit during low tide because it becomes an island during high tide. The views from the top of the hill are phenomenal. Spoke with the keeper of the lighthouse. She is a volunteer and is staying at the lighthouse with her friend. There have to be 2 people and you sign up to volunteer for a month. She says she keeps very busy with choirs. She was on the list for 4 years before they picked her name. After this tour, we ate dinner at Seaquake Brewing just a half a block away. It was delicious, the service was great and the beer was really good. A perfect ending to a wonderful day.

As other reviews have stated, make sure you ck the tide level, you cannot get here at high tide. My mom is a lighthouse enthusiast and doesn't do rocky treks or height , she did this trek across the slippery rocks just to see the lighthouse. The rocks are a little slippery but she's 73. The tide was coming in when we left so plan accordingly. The lighthouse is so nice and it was a real sunny late afternoon, so the surrounding views were gorgeous. The volunteer keeper was there and gave us a rundown of the lighthouse This is one of the best lighthouses I saw on my 10 day trip to oregon and crescent city

We felt the tour and the tour guides were all very excited about the lighthouse and informative. I’m glad they only let groups of 6-8 through to make the experience more intimate and personal. We felt like the grounds around the lighthouse and the scenery were beautiful. Our tour took a little longer than an hour. I would have preferred it shorter like 45 minutes. A little claustrophobic at the top of the lighthouse for some.

This was a really cool lighthouse to visit. It is a functioning lighthouse with a permanent resident living on the property (the lighthouse keeper position rotates every month). The small lighthouse itself is a museum, and you must pay a donation of $5.00 for an adult and $1.00 for a child to enter. A brief tour is included narrated by the docents and you can even climb up to the top light section.  Note, that you can only access the lighthouse when the tide is out, otherwise the lighthouse is surrounded by water. Be sure to check the tide tables when you visit. A really cool experience.

We lucked out and our visit was low tide for sunset. Easy walk over and an amazing sunset! We were there earlier in the day and learned about going over only during low tide. One of the highlights of our Crescent City visit and we hadn't even planned it!

The first time I visited the lighthouse, I was 5 years old. Mom, Dad my brother and I all visited during our move up from Southern California. We had only been back a couple of times after that. So after many years and the opportunity, I was happy to revisit an old childhood memory. The plaques and artifacts set out for the public to see was an amazing way to do a self guided tour. I am sure that during business and seasonal hours, the guide themselves would be able to lend a more indepth history of the lighthouse. As well as the ability to go inside the building. We also left a donation for the keepers of the property.

We just went super early to see the tide pools, the light house wasn't open. We saw crabs, sea starts, sea cucumbers. It was really slippery! We enjoyed finding the little critters!
