We were amazed at this area. Perfect for photographers. When you find the right angle...you can almost feel like you are out west in the desert. The drive to here is wonderful since its all a protected area.
Great spot to visit on the edge of Race Point Beach, but they're not always open. As you walk out to this old building, read the plaques you'll find along the boardwalk to learn about famous shipwrecks, how to look for whales rom this spot, and more, so worth a visit even if they're not open.

was a quaint sight at the lighthouse, we viewed it from our tour boat and from the beach..nice pics and great memories.
This was a fun take that the kids will enjoy too. The little movies shed a little more like on the details of the time. The rangers at the station were great too.
The Lifesaving demonstration was supereb! All of the reinactors were well versed in their roles. The stationmaster and crew really brought to life the how the lifesaving crew went about their work. The narrator was excellent and really did a wonderful job of explaining everything. It is absolutely amazing to think that people did this in the dead of night,...

Old Harbor Station has been restored to it's 1900 appearance inside and out. The Interpretive staff is very knowledgeable. The colors inside are VERY interesting. The recent acquisition of the ca. 1895 Boat wagon is really impressive. The Breeches Buoy demonstration is done on Thursday evenings at 6 PM in July and August. Great views from the second floor.
We wandered in here off season ( the door was open!)- and while perusing the main room with the boats, met a guy who wondered if we could help him put together the table in the restored dining room. How lucky we were-after helping him, he gave us a private tour. We found out his grandfather had been assigned here....
