点评:Beautiful, historic Victorian lighthouse and fantastic park and beach area - great spot to meander and explore. Possession Sound spreads out to the north and west sides of the park and is full of seals, sea lions, and sea birds of course.
The lighthouse was first lit in 1905 and was originally an oil lamp. But a fourth order Fresnel lens was eventually installed and is still in use here. Its signature signal pattern used to flash on for two seconds, then off for three. But an LED was installed some years ago and the new signature signal is now a flash every five seconds.
The lighthouse is small but there are several other buildings of interest such as the Keeper’s and Assistant Keeper’s houses - but the buildings are open only seasonally. The park seems to be open year round and still well worth the visit.
The grounds and buildings are well maintained and beautiful. There are lots of info signs around the grounds and you can even do a self guided walking tour. There are some very flat and easy hiking trails circling the lighthouse and the beaches along the sound. The beaches have fire pits.
There are decent bathrooms in the parking area. Parking is paid and we paid $3 for one hour (not sure the daily max). We were able to explore enough within our hour - but if the buildings were open it would definitely take longer.
Very lovely park and I’d definitely like to return when the buildings are open!
翻译:美丽而历史悠久的维多利亚灯塔、绝妙的公园和海滩区 - 是漫步和探索的好地方。Possession Sound 延伸到公园的北侧和西侧,到处都是海豹、海狮和海鸟。
灯塔于 1905 年首次点亮,最初是一盏油灯。但最终安装了四阶菲涅尔透镜,至今仍在使用。它的标志性信号模式过去是闪烁两秒,然后熄灭三秒。但几年前安装了 LED,新的标志性信号现在是每五秒闪烁一次。
灯塔很小,但还有其他几座有趣的建筑,例如守护者和助理守护者的房子 - 但这些建筑只在季节性开放。公园似乎全年开放,仍然值得一游。
场地和建筑维护良好,美丽。场地周围有很多信息标志,您甚至可以进行自助步行游览。有一些非常平坦且容易的徒步小径环绕着灯塔和海峡沿岸的海滩。海滩上有火坑。
停车场有不错的浴室。停车需要付费,我们一小时支付了 3 美元(不确定每日最高限额)。我们能够在一个小时内探索足够多的地方 - 但如果建筑物开放,那肯定会花更长时间。
非常可爱的公园,我绝对想在建筑物开放时再回来!
