Hook
A restored 1909 lighthouse and its Fresnel lens still flashing on a wildflower headland
More
The 1909 light guided lumber schooners along the 'doghole port' coast, and its third-order Fresnel lens still turns — restored by volunteers and relit in 1999. Rent the keepers' cottages overnight; the headland trail passes a marine-research cove and spring whale traffic.
