Personal Note:
The lighthouse sits within a small somewhat closed off neighborhood. We had to park about 1/4 mile away and we rode our bikes into the neighborhood (seemed less obvious that way). It appears the best views would be from the water or, if you're adventurous, you can walk down the neighborhood beach.
