This was a beautiful lighthouse with gorgeous views. It wasn't open nor was the gift shop on the Sunday of 4th of July weekend when we stopped by. Free parking/no entry fee and an easy walk up to the lighthouse and views with some stairs to the entrance itself. Highly recommend if you are touring the lighthouses in the area.

I like lighthouses. This one is so small, but it is situated in such a picturesque place. The views are breathtaking. We arrived after 5pm, I believe they do let the people inside during the day. The lighthouse is located in a state park, you can walk to some picnic areas and to the rocky beach.

Got here just before 10 am and it was perfect. Plenty of parking, not too many people yet and we watched the boats leave the shore off in the distance. The beach is perfect for kids to play with rocks and couples to sit and relax. The view from the lighthouse is so pretty!

This is one of the smaller lighthouses, but a great park. Behind the lighthouse there’s a beautiful beach with great landscapes to photograph and just enjoy the scenery.

Beautiful drive out to the park. Was maybe a half mile walk from parking to the lighthouse then a decent bit of stairs to climb up. Couldn't go in the lighthouse but still spectacular views.

Cute little light house on the coast. The parking lot is quite small and hard to turn around if you change your mind. People leave pretty often though, but just a heads up!

This is a cool lighthouse that is free to visit and a super easy walk from where you park. You can walk right up to it and explore the grounds a little bit. Beautiful views of the ocean, shorelines, and surrounding forests. Picnic tables, bbqs, and picnic area right near the parking area.
