A compact historic lighthouse by the Atlantic offering a strong vertical subject framed by dunes, sea oats and beachscape. Best at sunrise for warm side-light on the brick and long shadows; sunset can give dramatic silhouettes. Grounds and small museum are run by volunteers—check opening times and climbing availability. Street parking near 146th St; weekdays and off-season are least crowded. Low tide reveals foreground textures for compositions.
