Leadbetter Farms Lighthouse

The kids motored up all those stairs and had plenty of energy to do laps around the top. And, they would've stayed as long as we let them in spite of the numbing cold.

As you can see, it's pretty darn close to the beach. The easiest way to get a peek at the lighthouse is to drive up the beach from the south (when the tide is friendly, I suppose), and a lot of people do.

The 1000+ acres of the property border right on Leadbetter State Park. This is looking northward toward the tip of the Long Beach Peninsula.


Back on terra firma, E found a cute little bronze horse friend down by "the barn".
