This is a very nice area! You don’t go in the lighthouse but there is a little gift shop and museum to walk through. Besides the amazing photos you’ll capture there is also a nice walking area with a lot of sun but sometimes you can find shade. The water is just so nice to sit and walk around. There is also a couple different food trucks around there. As well as some sort of park but I didn’t explore that area so I don’t know what’s there.
There is a parking fee, which is typical I’ve found. This is what the website says.

A full day parking pass is $10.
A season pass is $15.
All passes are purchased at the meters at Fort Williams Park.
Credit cards only are accepted for payment.

Pursuant to Maine law, a vehicle that exhibits a permanent placard, a temporary placard or a disability registration plate is exempt
I did enjoy this place a lot.
This is such a cute light house ! In the summer, I was told by somewhere around where I parked, that you can park in the student lots at the school for free. There is also a parking area to the left of the lighthouse by some portable bathrooms. It’s fun to walk down the big rocks to the lighthouse. If you walk to the back of it and just sit on the rocks it’s so peaceful. You can’t climb it but it’s still a neat area for sure. There are some benches all along the water area. I spent a long time here just relaxing.
If you walk up the stairs behind the benches it takes you along the water and if you keep going you can even go to a beach area. I will for sure be back here!
