    Watch your step

    Aside from the gaps and crevices between the large granite blocks, this was a nice walk for both us and our small dog. Just watch your feet

    Not for all dogs

    We made it just shy of halfway across the breakwater before deciding it was too much for the dogs. This walk is busy, and quite a few misguided but well meaning passersby would call out to the dogs, creating a hazardous situation for the dogs who would try to go say hi but then stumble through the rocks. The gaps are quite large on some places, big enough for a paw top slip through. My oldest dog fell several times and struggled to get up.

    This is a beautiful walk and location, but just far too crowded and unsafe for us.

    Perfect lighthouse for a dog - A nice walk involved!

    Walk 7/8 of a mile down a (very stable) rock path to the light house . The walk was lovely, and great for the dog who had been in the car all day. She is small, so the rocks were kind of an adventure for her, though for humans it's almost like walking on a sidewalk. There were lots of other dogs on the path, so definitely keep your dog on leash and be aware of your surroundings.

    Also note: There are no bathrooms nearby.
