The lighthouse is a stunning building in a stunning setting and the little history museum is charming and informative. Well worth the 2/3 of a mile walk from the parking area, and well worth visiting even on a day with iffy weather, as we had.

Loved this small state park and the walk to the lighthouse. If you can, take the foot path to the ocean’s edge and not the paved road (which is hot and boring). The views along the way are beautiful, the lighthouse is cute and the museum/gift shop are a bonus.

Loved this lighthouse. January 2023, a storm brought tall waves into the lighthouse and damaged the gift shop and took much of the merchandise into the sea. They are in the process of painting the lighthouse and replacing windows.
The assistant keepers house is open to walk through, the keepers house is a B&B. Jo-Ann, the docent, at the assistant keepers house is lovely and so knowledgeable about the lighthouse and the area.
The parking lot is .5 miles away an you need to walk down a hill to get to the lighthouse and keepers houses. Handicap parking is located closer to the lighthouse.
Beautiful walk and lovely

Take the hike!! It's so worth it! And the gift shop in the lighthouse is so full of goodies. We saw lots of critters, and the lighthouse keepers houses are VRBO's! I'm definitely going to stay there!
Take water or snacks. It's maybe a 2.5 mile hike one way. It's free. And there's a museum perfect for kids education about sea life. I even learned things!
