    Nice attraction.

    I have never seen a real lighthouse so I was intrigued and decided to go for a drive by. I wasn't real impressed but I can mark it off my "to see" list. P

    Nice area

    Very nice area. Beautiful views, nice beaches. Interesting lighthouse. Pay to park was a unpleasant surprise.

    It's underwhelming

    The lighthouse is not what you are picturing in your head. This is not something you can climb up and get a great view of the water. This is a 150+ year old lighthouse that stands on a steel structure. It sits on a nice beach with shallow water making for great shelling and swimming. Parking is $5/hour, which we thought was obscene, but there is no other charge to get into the park. You can bring beverages, including alcohol onto the beach. There is a fishing pier and and historical placards throughout the trails. There are showers and bathrooms to accommodate children as well as adults. There are a ton of shells so if you're into shelling this is a perfect spot for that.
