Wonderful view from the top. Jim was our excellent guide who filled us in on the history. You could tell this light house is close to his heart. Work is ongoing in the living quarters which are not yet open to the public.
The view and the experience was a piece of heaven. We will be back definitely. Take your time and just soak it all in. Put the cameras away and ENJOY THE MOMENT! :)
The lighthouse is pretty unique - brick structure that was moved away from an eroding cliff a couple of decades ago. The process of moving this large structure is outlined and amazing. The curator on premise knows his history and the history is fascinating. Admission is free unless you would like a tour and then it is $10 for the tour, which we did not take, but there was lots to read and the views are spectacular.
Captivating view of Long Island from this lighthouse, and the open sea!Visited by school group on most days during the school year.
We took a short walk to the lighthouse and were totally amazed of the beauty of this lighthouse. Standing near the Mohegan Bluffs gives this lighthouse a serene atmosphere. this is a must take when on Block Island.
We were married here 4 years ago! It is such a beautiful, tranquil spot. The lighthouse has a neat history and is gorgeous. The views from up top are spectacular. Take the tour inside (few dollars) - it is worth it!
We chose the South east lighthouse, because we were told that the North lighthouse was closed. The history narrated by the tour guide was excellent as well as the climb to the top...what a view. WE could see Montauk point and its lighthouse from the top.
I've been to Block Island a number of times over the last couple of years, taking my boat down there with different groups of people. This was the first time we had time to rent bikes, and ride around the island. Our first stop was the Southeast Lighthouse -- a beautiful brick and stone lighthouse that was moved back from the crumbling cliffs a couple of decades ago.We took the tour all of the way up to the Fresnel, and found it to be a very educational and interesting tour, even though it got very hot in the glass tower. However, if you time things right, you should be able to get some fresh breezes from the open windows.We were surprised by the easy views of Montauk Long Island, which is so close to the lighthouse end of the island.Overall, we found it well worth the price to see this historic location.
Beautiful views surrounding this Lighthouse. It does cost money to go up into the lighthouse and there was a wedding ceremony there the day that we went so not the most ideal time. Grassy lawn is the perfect place to relax for a few minutes and hang out
We saw this lightouse from a distance - in the pictures it looks like it is a short walk, but it is quite a walk though the sand - it is ork the walk, but allow time, or you can go as far as you want to get a good picture.
