It was worth going to! If you're willing to go out on the observatory decking. Most people chickened out after making the climb. Only $2.50 to enter. Had a nice lunch at The Dining Room after. Great picture opportunities! More

We had dinner at The Dining Room which is in the innkeeper's house of the lighthouse. Food was incredibly in taste and presentation. Service was good. Must have reservations. A bit noisy early on in the evening so a later reservation would be best! More

I have a fear of heights, so it was a nice spot to mentally regroup the higher I climbed. I'm in good shape, so I didn't find the stairs to be too much,... More

Obviously this isn't going to be for people with a fear of heights lol. The view at the top was amazing and it was cool to read all of the information at each landing on the way up. It was only $2.50 to go to the top! There was a cute little gift shop and it is a short walk... More

It was a beautiful walk up to the lighthouse from the Fairmont Southampton. The tickets to climb to the top were $2.50 each and the views were worth the price. More
