Nice scenic area

We thought the Mohegan Bluffs were great! It is probably a site best for the younger tourists though. There are 152 steps (a wooden staircase) from the top of the bluffs (where you start) to a porch area on the bottom. At the bottom, there is a beautiful view of a beach area and of the shrubbed and bare bluffs. When you try to get from the porch area to the beach area, it can be very hard to navigate because it is steep and rocky with running water. So I would suggest good gripping shoes if you plan to walk the beach here. Many, younger, people were able to do this with careful foot placement. We walked the beach which had a wonderful view of the water, but was very rocky. It is a good place for the view and pictures. I would suggest going there during sunset/sunrise (we were there during the afternoon). The SE Lighthouse is not a great destination in itself, but it a nice place to stop if you are visiting the M. Bluffs anyway (because it is so close). It has a nice view and easy/convenient to get to. Not to mention, you can buy bottled water here after your steep climb up the stairs and the bluffs. Both these sites are free.
