New Dungeness Light Station is a gem, located at the end of Dungeness Spit. It’s not easy to get to. For the hearty it’s a 5-mile (8 km.) beach walk, timed to avoid high tide. We took a watery route on Monday as we fished for crabs on the last day of the season. Not much luck on the crab front but the lighthouse views were great. It’s otherwise quite distant from land.
The Lighthouse is maintained by a volunteer association and for a fee members can be volunteer lighthouse keepers for a week. It’s a beautiful, remote, and different place to stay. Keepers greet visitors and do light maintenance around the site.
Can you tell it was a nice day to be on the water?
This lighthouse is beautiful. Due my personal experience I find the lighthouses in the USA are much more attractive than what we have here in Canada.
I would absolutely pay a fee to work in this gorgeous lighthouse for a week Kay, it looks fantastic! Gorgeous gorgeous reflections in the last shot!
That’s quite the hike to get to the lighthouse but a very picturesque one. I would love to be a volunteer lighthouse keeper, it would be such a beautiful getaway and the work doesn’t sound overwhelming. I love all the blue in your photo, it’s quite appealing.
It’s a beauty!
