This lighthouse is closed to the public and can be seen from nearby Hendrick's Head Beach. I climbed out on the seaweed covered rocks to get photos. Not recommended unless you're agile and have good balance.

Its closed to the public but it is my favorite lighthouse and place to take pictures of from a boat. Every time I go by it I have to stop and snap a photo. Looks like a painting its so breathtaking 😍
