This is a beautiful place to watch the sunset. You can walk down the road to the Lighthouse or you can drive if you are over sixty five years old. The road is narrow So drive slow and be aware of oncoming cars. It has a great view of the beaches. And for all the Swifties, you can see "The Holiday House" while you enjoy the views. It is a beautiful, historic place to take the whole family. You could even bring lunch and have a picnic on the grassy area infront of the lighthouse.
10/2023 - had a hard time finding the entrance to the lighthouse, there is a sign which encouraged folks to walk down. It indicates for elderly and handicapped to be the ones to be able to take their car down the one lane road.
The lighthouse is privately owned therefore not able to get close, fenced and signed private property.
It was quite windy so coats would be wise to bring where this area is a peninsula.
Many people fishing for stripers along the very rocky with large jagged rocks shore line.

If you want to see incredible sunset and enjoy ocean breeze you should come here. You can park your car in the city, walk around the fairy tale town, have an ice cream or a cold drink and come to the lighthouse to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Also you can see a sunset from the city streets or beach, or enjoy a diner with amazing view on sunset.
A bit hard to find as sign for the road says private drive, no vehicles but walkers welcome. People still drive in there. We walked as it was a nice scenic walk. Lighthouse was nice, beautiful scenic views from every side of the lighthouse.
It’s a nice little walk down from town to the lighthouse but unfortunately you cannot see it close up as it’s fenced off at quite a distance.
The current lighthouse was built with granite blocks in 1808 and automated in 1968.

You cannot walk close to the lighthouse for photos and the house blocks the view of the lighthouse, so if you’re looking for a photo opportunity it’s not great. The grass field is fun to throw frisbees or relax. There is a road to the lighthouse, the line says for only over age 65yrs, however, it is low season, not busy, so drive there. Or if you want exercise, it’s a nice walk. Watch the sunset, beautiful.
The lighthouse is now private property, but you can still walk or drive up close enough to see it from the back. The beautiful part was watching the ocean crashing up against the rocky shoreline and experiencing the sounds and smells!
