Message from Jenna Silver

The California Lighthouse is positioned at the northwest tip of the island. Perched atop a small hill, it offers spectacular views of the entire island. For a fee of $5, you can enter the lighthouse and climb its stairs to reach the top, where you'll be treated to a breathtaking 360-degree view. There are even special nights when it's possible to dine on top of the lighthouse during sunset.

Please be aware that the stairs leading to the top are narrow, and there are approximately 160 steps to climb. During the day, the lighthouse can get quite busy with tour groups stopping by. To avoid crowds, it's best to arrive early, before 10 am, or after 4 pm.
