Took this a few weeks ago.
The last mile or so to the lighthouse was a very rough road, that did put me off going back again.
The lighthouse is 112 feet tall but in doesn't look like that here.
It famous for photographers from near and far, so its common place in club comps etc.
To the point of, of no not another one, but I think for personal reasons its worthwhile to make the effort if even just to see and capture it for your own portfolio.

I don't know how familiar you are with your processing software, but this looks as though you need to pull the sliders in on your levels, particularly the right hand side, as this will lift the whites and bring the picture to life.

I'm personally not keen on the out-of-focus foreground.
 
Thank you for the input, at the moment I am learning how to edit, I use Nikon NX studio.
I keep a lot of my work and will go back and give it a bit more of some edits and perhaps come up with a better image.
 
It's a long time since I used Nikon NX Studio so I can't remember if it has a "Levels" slider but what Toby is suggesting is effectively to selectively increase the contrast. If you don't have a "Levels" slider but have a "Curves" control (might be called something else), you can get somewhere near by dragging the highlight end of the curve up to lift the highlights. Something like the example below. Have a play.
