    Great scenery, although Gulls can be aggressive, especially with their chicks around. Volunteers were super friendly.

    Loved the volunteers who run the island. The twin lights are 110 ft high and we climbed up to the top of the Northern Tower - about 124 steps. The views were magnificent and the docent at the top was a friend we were surprised to find manning the post!
