The Sea Candle is a lighthouse on the island and located inside the Enoshima Samuel Cocking Garden. Entry into the garden is free until 5PM, after which admission tickets have to be purchased – I assume in part because of the winter illumination light-ups this season. The lighthouse itself has a separate admission charge too.
The 60m tall lighthouse offers a 360 degree view of the mainland and sea from two separate viewing areas: an indoor deck that’s 37.9m elevation (and 97.7m above sea level) that’s is heated in winter, and an outdoor deck that is accessible by going up a flight of stairs. The outer deck is at 41.7m elevation (and 101.6m above sea level). We had the Enoshima pass, so admission into the tower was included and for unlimited uses. If you’re looking to save some money, there’s also a a terrace deck called ‘The Sunset Terrace’ that is at the base of the tower that you can also get decent but somewhat obstructed views from of the area, and also at sunset.
We went up the Sea Candle twice: once at the late morning, and another to observe the sunset. Pictures!
