Lighthouse Field State Beach

Paths and shoreline viewpoints look toward Steamer Lane, while lightly wooded grassland provides a quieter counterpoint to the busy oceanfront.

Choose a walk suited to current weather and coastal conditions, using the park’s designated trails and access points. Keep clear of cliff edges and give wildlife space. The park allows leashed dogs, including on the beach. Visiting the surrounding park does not guarantee access to the separately operated surfing museum inside the lighthouse; check that institution’s schedule if it is part of your plans.
