Lighthouse Tours Tips for Sandy Hook
- Several shore lights close or shorten hours in winter — check the schedule before building a day around one.
- Some climbs have minimum-height rules for kids; verify before promising the top.
- Late-afternoon light is the photographer's window, and the stairs are emptiest right at opening.
