Lighthouse Point Park

This place is magical in the fall and winter. This place allows you to breathe and collect your thoughts, it's a great place for photography, I love coming here alone and wearing my headphones and holding my camera in my hand to take shots, or sometimes I walk on the rocks, sit down and smoke a cigar. This is truly a place to find tranquility.

Absolutely breathtaking in the snow! The carousel owner was so responsive via email and we can’t return when it is open as well! Cure playground for the kids and amazing views!

What an amazing park, breathtaking views, great walking paths and truly an amazing experience for both adults and kids. This was well worth the trip! Picture say 1000 words but being there in person is indescribable. The only suggestion I would have for a family experience is to ensure that the carousel building is open, that was our poor planning, but would be an additional attraction for kids. It had a splash pad for the kids, which ended the day very well with tired and hot children . Everything was clean and enjoyable. There are also amenities in the area, such as grills, etc. The suggestion that I would make would be get there early, as it was quite expensive to enter the park for only a couple hours.

Passed through New Haven on a road trip visiting lighthouses along the east coast. It was offseason so not much going on. Built in 1847, New Haven Harbor Lighthouse stands 80 feet tall and its octagonal brownstone tower and white lantern are iconic features. The lighthouse itself is not open for interior tours; the surrounding park and grounds are accessible to the public. You could not drive up to the lighthouse to park and with limited mobility it was a little bit of a struggle to see.

Visiting this Lighthouse is a very peaceful, joyous feeling. While sitting on the bench near it, hearing the waves against the rocks and looking out across the water with the warmth from the sun is so beautiful. You must visit this park. Out of state visitors have to pay $30, it was worth it to us.

The park is older and being out of state we had to pay $30. Wasn't worth it but made the most of the day. They did have a cool carousel (really old) that you could ride for 50 cents. Saw the old lighthouse but couldn't go up in it. Sat in the sun for a couple of hours but definitely not worth the price.

It's a little quiet in the late fall. But it was free and there weren't many people. It's a nice place to experience a basic lighthouse on the shore.
