Since this time, the New Dungeness Chapter has manned the lighthouse. We transport two families of keepers the five and a half miles out every week at the lowest tide possible in a 4x4 vehicle, along with enough supplies and personal effects for a week. While out at the lighthouse for their week, the keepers have definite duties, consisting of cleaning, repairing and maintaining the buildings and also keeping the lawns in good condition. The keepers are also responsible for conducting tours to those stalwart persons who are able to make the walk out. Many visitors also come out by small boat or kayak and, after beaching their boats, wade ashore to visit.
Horses are another form of visitor transportation.
Our plans for the future are various and depend on funding. We hope to renovate the duplexes in the lower building to increase the livability and the sleeping capacity, both to accommodate maintenance crews and to offer hostel facilities to visitors. Site improvements would include walkways and descriptive signs where appropriate. All labor will be provided by our volunteer members. At this time our fund resources consist of dues, sales of merchandise, donations of money, labor and materials and any grants we are able to obtain.
