Join in for a full day trip on Saturday, September 13th, to Patos Island and the opportunity to tour the historic 1893 lighthouse. Docents from the Keepers of the Patos Light will be on hand to provide information where you will learn the history of the lighthouse along with the legends and lore of the island. There is also a 1½ mile loop trail around the island to explore. The lighthouse is ¾ of a mile walk (one way) from the beach landing site and is a mix of strenuous to moderate to easy with the last ¼ mile on sidewalk. Approximate time on the island will be 3 hours.
The tour will depart Shipyard Cove (rain or shine) on the Pintail Barge at 9:00 a.m., and will return at approximately 6:00 p.m. Tickets are $60 per person in advance and will be limited by boat capacity. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call the San Juan Historical Museum at 378-3949, or online at www.sjmuseum.org
Proceeds for this trip will benefit the San Juan Historical Society’s, Museum of History & Industry.

Thanks for the comment Heidi. Whoops, the date was omitted by mistake. It has now been corrected – it’s Saturday, Sept 13th.
