Sunset photos overlooking the water - 'nuff said. Gets cold and windy, bring layers and/or someone to hug. Find a kind stranger to take pics of you and your party; have fun

Beautiful area to take a walk and visit the oldest light house in America. The sourrounding area is beautiful! It has a gravel walking trail and a grassy field with swings for kids.

Words and photos do this place no justice. It's simply beautiful and I believe it to be the prettiest lighthouse there is. It's in a beautiful park setting and there are lots of walking trails...

This is a beautiful place to stop and check out. There is adequate parking but you do compete with tour buses. There are a few paths to walk on and the remains of an old fort. Pretty cool spot....
