| Crisp Point; 2004 |
One of the most remote, hardest to reach lighthouses I have been too, making it all the more special. Most pictures you see of this light are quite old as they show a small attached entranceway to the tower - this structure has long since collapsed. The light was in danger of being lost to the eroding shoreline but has a new lease on life thanks to the work of volunteers.
When I visited the light, I was only able to shoot half a roll of film due to being covered with biting black flies every time I stopped moving. Bring plenty of bug spray or visit later in the year when there are less bugs. There are some good shots along the beach with driftwood for the foreground, and it looks to be a nice place for some sunrise/sunset shots if you are able to camp there.
2010 Update: The Crisp Point Light Historical Society has been hard at work since I first made the trek out to the light. The entrance building has been rebuilt, there is a new visitor center with a small museum/store and public restrooms, boardwalks have been added, and the beach erosion around the light appears to have been stabilized. Even the road into Crisp Point has been improved, but it's still quite the drive to reach this secluded location.
