Sometimes, they are open at other times for public events such as receptions and classes. The downstairs rooms,

including the downstairs kitchen and bathroom, are not included in the apartment rental. The grounds of the light station are Town property, and open to the public. Fishermen sometimes come to the headland early in the morning to check the weather conditions outside the harbor. Sometimes groups picnic in the grounds, or park near the house to walk the trails. People may walk the public road to the headland to see sunset or sunrise, or to admire the moonlight on the sea. A Town ordinance forbids drinking in public areas. This does not apply to the apartment, but it does apply to the downstairs rooms and the grounds. No smoking is allowed anywhere on the property. Electronics. Wifi is available through a DSL connection. There is a wireline phone downstairs; please use it only if you have an emergency. *Sheets and towels are provided.
