Either resident caretakers or FOSIL volunteers
provide access to the lighthouse daily, Memorial Day to Labor Day. This year’s caretakers are
Beverly and Bo Ramsey.
Visitors to Seguin should have footwear suitable for walking and getting wet. Bug spray is recommended. On calm days, the island draws a few
experienced sea kayakers, but only expert boaters with knowledge of this area should attempt to travel here on their own.
To overnight on Seguin Island, one must be a member of the Friends; see contact information above. The apartment sleeps four and has a
kitchenette, composting toilet, and shower. Linens are provided. A donation of $175 is requested.
