Along the Atlantic coastline, just south of the Lockeport Harbor Lighthouse, and east of the vast expanse of the Branchview Estate, lies the private beach of lighthouse point. The cove there was once used to haul in materials for the construction of the Branchview mansion. The beach has one land access point; along the northeast side of the Branchview cliffs.
The granite stairway is said to have been built around the same time as the magnificent house and provides easy access to the beach from the pathway above.
