It's a real lighthouse!. Here are 2 pictures.  It even has its own WEBSITE!

It's tucked way under the bridge -- you can only see it from a couple of
places, apparently (like from a boat!).  I wonder if anyone can go and look
at it? Who's in charge of it? Parks? Coast Guard? Aha! another BP excursion!
