Does anyone know if the light house grounds are open to the public? I’ve never considered going to relax on the grass since I assumed it was closed to the public.

No, it is not open to the public aside from these seasonal weekly tours.

And the grass is off limits, even during the tours, because the buildings are living quarters for Coast Guard staff.
