Beautiful! Dog Friendly! Can only fly drone here with prior authorization since airport in area
Beautiful! We got there at 10am only a few people there but right after that people kept constanlty coming (probably because the ferry arrives around this time which i believe is the first of the day). Honestly, even with more people its pretty big and its not crowded. Tip - keep walking right or even left to walk along shoreline and away from people. It is very rocky (small uneven rocks) so wear good shoes. As a billion other people said, there is alot of stairs but unless you have difficulty with normal stairs, this will be fine for you. Going up is of course more tiring but will only take a few minutes if you go at a slightly brisk pace. There are plenty of taxis from the ferry to take you there. I believe it was 16 or so around there bucks one way for 2 people and only takes like 5-10 minutes to get there. It is got friendly, the taxis are dog friendly and the ferry is dog friendly. **If you have a drone and want to fly it here such as a DJI drone you have to do special authorization before flying. I did not and could not fly it here due to airport nearby. Only place i could fly my drone was the northern part of the island where the other lighthouse is (there is southeast lighthouse by Mohegan bluffs) and they have a nice quiet beach area up this way too. Have fun!!

haunting
My family had a great time going to the lighthouse and then over to walk down the stairs at the bluffs. i wasn't sure if it would be safe for kids but forgot how fearless they are, they zoomed down easily! Turned out, I was the real chicken, hanging onto the railing with both hands for dear life, making them pretend they did not know me. As for the view: My son commented how it was something that a "virtual tour" would fail to capture, nor could even the high quality photograph we took. it's a haunting and grand beauty one must be there to see with their own eyes to fully absorb.
