After feasting your eyes on the ocean and being battered by the cape’s infamous winds (unless you were lucky enough to arrive on a calm day), turn your back to the Atlantic and head left toward the lighthouse. The path is rather primitive, so watch out for the occasional rock jutting out of the dirt. As long as you have the wooden railing on your left, you are good. Walk for a few moments until you reach a sort of “corner” from which you can see both the lighthouse and a pointy rock rising from the ocean in the distance (unless fog prevents you from seeing any of these things, at which point just retrace your steps towards the parking lot until you reach the gate to the lighthouse complex at the top of the hill, just before the parking lot).
