Split Point Lighthouse

About

The Split Point Lighthouse is a gorgeous structure that has stood for over 100 years and continues to illuminate the dangerous waters and rocky coasts for any ships traveling in the night. However, during the day it has become a popular tourist destination due to its setting, structure and cultural significance. If you want to just make a quick stop, choose the express tour, but make sure to go up to the balcony for the spectacular views, and maybe even catch a glimpse of a whale or a pod of dolphins. If you do have more time, consider taking a 30- 40 minute guided tour with the knowledgeable staff. Get a rundown on the responsibilities of a lighthouse keeper, the technology that goes into keeping it running, the efforts of their marine conservatory and the shows and books that have featured the lighthouse.
