Cameron Island Lighthouse

Cameron Island Lighthouse is a famous lighthouse located in Orangedale. The lighthouse was built in 1904 and was modified in 1988 to equip it with solar panels so the light would only turn on when needed. The tower is roughly 32 feet high and can be seen from very far away, even with the light turned off. Visitors will be able to see the tower best on the boat. However, there is a roadside park with picnic tables and an area to look at the tower from a distance.

Marble Mountain Beach and Wharf

Marble Mountain Beach and Wharf is a beautiful beach with spectacular views and unique land formations. The beach contains white sand and turquoise water, a remarkable result of the marble quarry that opened in 1869. The crushed white marble made the beach look white, and the pH of the marble kept the water soft and clear, making it look turquoise. Visitors can swim, boat, kayak, and do all sorts of water activities here.
