Ruined from red paint

Supposedly red was found in layers of stripped paint from this lighthouse so it was recently restored to an earlier color scheme. I agree with the many locals who find the new colors controversial. The lighthouse used to have a beautiful white/cement stucco.

Located in Bullards Beach State Park with huge pieces of driftwood nearby.

Enjoy the view

It is interesting to see the lighthouse up close. You can walk down by the jetty and get lots of driftwood. You can play in the sand there also. The drive is nice out there as it also goes by the river and a camping ground. You can have a picnic under the trees there.
I love to take pictures of the area at different times of the day as you can capture the colors and the mood of the sea and sky.
