HoodPoint Lighthouse

What an amazing experience! Seeing the life of a lighthouse keeper. Lovely school outing.

Beautiful scenery, quiet and lovely place for photos. Be cautious of people hanging about and approaching you for money etc...

We always wanted to see what it looks like from inside a lighthouse, my family loved the experience! Hood Point is very well kept and has nice safe parking.

The Lighthouse is a spectacular place to view. However it is closed in and you will have to get permission by the Lighthouse keepers to go in and touch or walk around it. This is due to vandalism which is understandable. However you can come very close without having to go into the grounds. Ive had a first hand experience as my father in law lives there and maintains the Lighthouse.

Amazing view and a space of silence

Though all reviews and notices say "visitors welcome", sadly this is not the case. Upon arriving their within the stated open hours, one is met with a closed gate and a rude gentleman over the intercom who abruptly answers "NO" when asked if they are open. Not worth it.

While this should be a major attraction in theory, it isn't in a well kept area and the entrance is through a shabby graveyard. But I'd never been to a lighthouse and I found climbing up and see it and the view amazing.

My kids stay right at the gate of the light house on the golf course and is still a amazing thing to see the all the Graves around the light house very impressive grave stones from long ago
