Key Takeaways
- Two Lights State Park offers stunning ocean views, rocky coastline access, and the iconic twin lighthouses (though only one is still active).
- Visitors can enjoy picnicking, exploring the rocks and trails (some easy, some moderately challenging), and photography opportunities, but swimming is not recommended due to dangerous conditions.
- The park has an entrance fee, limited amenities (restrooms and picnic tables), and can get crowded, especially during peak season, so planning ahead is advised.
