Great Views

Have been visiting the lookout since I was a little kid. Nice to see some maintenance/repairs being undertaken to ensure that it will be here for many more years to come. Great views from the view decks.

quaint tourist shop Coast Guard/great views north and south coastline

Great to visit during the day to get great views north and south of beautiful coastline. Also great to visit as sun is setting for different perspective. Must visit the quaint Coast Guard tourist shop for good priced souvenirs and gifts.

Location and novelty

Where else in this wide world can you go and have 2 states along the same city street? Not many. It's a great location and photo opportunity, and the beaches around are purdy spectacular.

Beautiful spot to sit

We visited recently and the view from here is so beautiful and stretches as far as the eye can see. We caught a glimpse of some passing whales and just enjoyed looking around.

Excellent views and park area

Overlooking large rock formations and beaches each side. Highest point in area so views extend both ways along extended beaches. Coffee shop just over road from site and can buy icecreams / drinks from air sea rescue operation on site. Well worth the visit
