Would you recommend the lighthouse? Yes | Rating: 10

Pros:	Interesting layout, unique color for a lighthouse
Cons:	Not active, iron tower next to it is the active light

Hereford Inlet Light is a beautiful light surrounded by wonderfully cultivated gardens filled with exotic flowers and butterflies and is very close to a scenic view of the water. The building has recently been repainted from white to a warm buttery yellow to bring it back to its historical color, which gives the light a warm and inviting feeling. There are many great shots of the lighthouse, from the water, from the gardens, from the parking lot, and even in the reflection of its lawn ornaments. Hereford Inlet Light is a must-see!
