This lighthouse was much harder to get to. The town seemed to glory in its existence with a picture of it on flags all through downtown, they just needed to follow through with actual directions on actual signs. We drove along the main road peaking through the buildings until we saw what looked like the pier and then we found the path.
The steel tower halfway along the path gave me a chance to exercise my photographic creativity. Everybody can now ooh and ah about negative space and lines and geometrics. I definitely don't know what I am talking about here.
It does seem that in an effort is being made to alleviate the safety responsibility of owning all of these lighthouses that people want to visit, but that are in some dangerous places, especially if the weather is bad. The Coast guard has out up these scary signs, that even manage to work the word "thereof" into the warning.
"WARNING
THIS IS A
NAVIGATIONAL STRUCTURE
USE THEREOF

CORPS OF ENGINEERS
U.S. ARMY"
"CAUTION
SURFACE OF BREAKWATER
IS SLIPPERY WHEN WET
THIS HAZARD ALONG
WITH THE IRREGULAR
SURFACE MAKES WALKING
DIFFICULT AND CREATES
A SERIOUS POTENTIAL
FOR DROWNING"
