Very nice boat trip to the site and once there very nice trails. You can hike across to the Atlantic beach side from the lighthouse. The living quarters have very interesting information and artifacts. Well worth the trip.

WARNING: they don’t tell you before you get on the fairy, that you cannot enter the lighthouse. The steps are currently under construction for at least the next 2 years. But it’s a beautiful island with a wide clear beach. Still so worth it for the history around the island that you get to see as well!

Fun ride across the waterway with good views of the surrounding islands and also some wild horses. Once on Harker Island you can explore the lighthouse, walk some of the trails, walk along the beach and look for seashells and go swimming. There are many good informative signs on Harker island explaining the history of the area.
