This lighthouse has seen better days, but it's still an amazing light to see. It's steel structure survived Super Storm Sandy and is a true testament to what a lighthouse stands for, "A Beacon of Hope." It's worth the drive to take a walk on the rocky beach it stands on and make sure to bring your camera!  And don't forget a bag or bucket! Lots of cool bricks, shells, and sea glass can be find on this mostly untouched strip of beach.
