The walk up was beautiful on a gravel trail that wrapped the ocean side. Once at the lighthouse, the view was spectacular in all directions. The lighthouse was open with some historical lights and info, then the climb up to the actual light was many steps. Relax at the top and breathe deep! There was a port-a-potty at the lighthouse 😉

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 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.

Great little lighthouse and park. It was early morning when I was there, but the size of the parking lot tells me they must have several visitors at a time. Quaint place, areas to sit and reflect. Slightly adventurous looking cove that is technically out of bounds, but still enjoyed by some (but no messes).

The view here during sunrise is the best! I drove from Portland at around 3am, arrived here right before 5am. It was worth the drive.

Must see. Picture perfect views. We went early and only encountered a handful of other visitors.

Cute lighthouse on the smaller side. Just park and about a 1/4 mile walk gets you to this gem. Parking during the height of the tourist season is a little tight but the views and lasting photos of the lighthouse abound.

A beautiful lighthouse maintained by the US coast guard. You can get up close by taking the well maintained stairs. The view is great. I can see people may come here for their wedding photos.
