You can drive and park right up to the lighthouse, until you are in a larger vehicle in which case you can walk the road to the top. No bathrooms, but a couple clean picnic tables to take a break at.

Good place if you cross over with the ferry. This is no Peggy's cove but still a pretty place. Saw a school of Plankton (I think) in the bay below which was great.

Spectacular view of ocean and beautiful cliffs. The historic lighthouse is interesting.
