Instructions
The walk is free, but advance registration is required since space is limited. Bring binoculars if you have them (we'll also bring extra pairs). Wear clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather and uneven, muddy trails.
Meets at the end of Eastern Point Blvd. Go through the stone gates and continue along Eastern Point Blvd. until you see the lighthouse. The parking lot is on the right, overlooking the harbor.
