Beautiful historic lighthouse! You can get up close and take pictures. Limited parking nearby. Walking distance to Plum Island Beach!

Great place to visit, close by parking for the beach to make a whole day out of the visit

Great location. A lot of activities, beaches, hikes, landscape, photo towers... larger location than expected.

Nice lighthouse, easy access, and parking, next to the beach.

Just a note: This lighthouse is on private property without (non-beach) parking. The lighthouse is open for limited hours, but when it is open, you can walk up it. Probably better to spend your time on Plum Island at the beach.

Cool lighthouse on the end of Plum Island. You can go to the top, but be aware that it is only open on select days, typically once a month. The rest of the time you can walk up to the base and look at it, you just cant go inside.

Small little lighthouse very much on land and not really near the water. However, this is truly a beautiful little place and markers placed around the lighthouse. The parking was a bit tricky. Many people were in the area and we had to do a bit of walking, but it was worth it.

The lighthouse was ok, but the beach was beautiful with the snow and ice.

Interesting location for a lighthouse. Nothing else there since its not on the beach. Its a working navigation beacon so access to the inside is extremely limited. You cannot see the river or the ocean from its location.

This is an amazing piece of living history. The walk up is a little rough but can be accomplished by most

If youre in to light houses, check out the Plum Island light house. Walk right up to it at the small park at the north side of the Island.

Most of the houses nearby are taller than it is. Drive by to see it, but spend your time at the beach.
