Reviews
"This place is amazing. I loved seeing the lighthouse and walking in the area. The views are awesome. This place is pet friendly. There is a fee to enter. You can purchase a 3 day pass for $7.00. That is what we done and had a great time. There are benches to sit on to enjoy the views. I would advise to go during the week because it's less crowded."
"Great displays and lots of history placing the light house keeper squarely within American service ranks."
"While it opens at 10, recommend going during low tide (in the afternoon) to be able to enjoy the tidepools."
"Always a great place to visit. Walking trails and amazing vistas. The info center is top notch."
"The nicest people work here and the whole area is a gorgeous must see!"
