Check out the lighthouse-related souvenirs, such as T-shirts, magnets, and ornaments at the museum shop. Keep in mind the lighthouse is closed during times of strong winds and thunderstorms.

  Very nice lighthouse and gift shop and grounds including guest house that can be rented out. There are also historical exhibits (including a privy) to see. Sanitary Facilities are across the road from the light house and are modern and well kept. This lighthouse, you can climb to the top, of which is a overlook outside of the tower. You don't have to climb it for the Passport program of the US lighthouse society, the stamp is located at the base where you pay to climb the steps. Passports are available for purchase in the gift shop.

  Had a great time. Enjoyed climbing the lighthouse. Would of liked to of had some better information about the lighthouse during our visit. Beautiful view from the top. Little pricey. Children should be less than adults in my opinion. Friendly staff.
