Sugarloaf Point

This is the lighthouse at Sugarloaf Point at Seal Rocks. I have been meaning to get to this lighthouse for a while and today seemed like a good day to do it. I saw four sea eagles, two kites and one parasailer catching the wind near here.

You can rent the lighthouse keeper cottages if you would like to stay here. For those that are interested in lighthouse details -
