Description
The main draw is the 300-step climb up the lighthouse, which pays off with sweeping coastal vistas. But the park itself is worth exploring: trails wind through a maritime forest and dunes, and the waterfront walkway is prime territory for spotting wildlife — visitors have logged 14 bird species and a seal sighting. A visitor center adds context, and a coffee shop sits right next to the parking lot.
