Rockland Breakwater Light, Rockland

This is an interesting place. You can certainly enjoy the view of the bay from shore. But if you feel like a little exercise then you can walk the 4000ft breakwater and get a close up view. It’s flat but made of large granite that is loosely fitted together so caution is important to avoid missteps.

No bathrooms available. Dog friendly. Plastic poop bags available at park entrance. This place is not wheelchair or walker friendly. There was plenty of parking, although the area was in rough shape and our low riding car couldn't park on the slope without hitting. The walk is long and beautiful. Be careful on the granite, it is uneven, had big gaps, and is slippery in spots. It was still doable in sandals. We saw a grey seal and cormorants while walking to the lighthouse. Keep your eyes open for wildlife. Many people were tidepooling at the beginning of the walk since it was low tide. There were many people fishing. At the last dock before the lighthouse, there was a family jumping off and swimming. I'm not sure if that's actually allowed or not. No lifeguards around. There's a picnic table next to the flagpole right in front of the lighthouse, but any of the large rocks make a great spot for a picnic. Beware of seagulls if you do bring goodies. Makes sure to walk around the lighthouse and up the stairs.
