I recommend checking out the local boutiques instead of the big names. They had unique stuff and better prices. Plus, it helps you support local artists.

Make sure to take a stroll around the outdoor deck. The ocean views are stunning, especially around sunset! Perfect for a quick break from shopping.

If you wanna avoid the crowds, try to arrive right when the stores open, around 9:30AM. I went at noon once and it was crazy busy!

Look for the happy hour specials if you're planning to grab a bite! I found some awesome deals at the restaurants around 3-5PM.

Wear sunscreen and a hat; the sun can be brutal out there. I learned that the hard way on my visit!

I suggest setting aside a good 2-3 hours. There’s more to see than just the memorial itself, and you won’t want to rush it

If you can, aim for a visit around 8 AM. The early morning light is stunning for photos, and it’s less crowded!

I suggest bringing some snacks and water. The food options are kinda pricey on-site, and having your own stuff can save you a few bucks.

If you’re into photography try to visit right after the opening at 9 AM for the best natural light. The ship looks stunning in the early rays.

If you're into photography, bring a zoom lens. The scenery is stunning, and you'll want to snap some close-up shots of the lighthouse and ocean. But be aware of the glare on sunny days.

Don't forget to wear some good shoes! I wore flip-flops and regretted it halfway up. Sturdy sneakers will make the walk much easier and more comfortable.

I recommend bringing snacks and water. There’re no shops or anything at the top, so pack a little picnic to enjoy while taking in the view. Trust me, it's worth it!

My advice is to book your tickets online ahead of time to save some cash. I didn't do that and ended up waiting in line for ages, then paying full price. Total bummer!

I recommend you go early, like around 7:30 AM. The crowds can get nasty later, and you'll get better pics without all the people in them! Plus, the morning light is just beautiful for photos.

I suggest checking out the different architectural styles in the area, especially the historic buildings. You can appreciate them better in the early morning light, around 8 AM, when it's cooler and less crowded. It really makes a difference for photos too!

My advice is to grab a quick bite at a local food truck before heading to visit the main sites. I found some really tasty spots that saved me money compared to touristy restaurants. Plus, you'll get a real taste of the local vibe.
