The walk to the lighthouse was about a mile up a small incline. It had beautiful ocean views, but be prepared as it was very humid. . We wore hats and had plenty of water. Our tour guide, Nicole was very informative, fun and a safe driver. We were the only ones on the tour so it felt personal and she was entertaining! If you want a fun beautiful experience book with Nicole.
