Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Sen valonsäteet ulottuvat 26 merimailia Atlantin yli palvellen tärkeänä oppaana merenkululle. Majakka automatisoitiin vuonna 1980, mutta siinä on yhä alkuperäinen Fresnel-linssijärjestelmä, mikä on harvinaista tällaisessa kohteessa.
Kohokohdat: Vierailijat voivat nousta 92 askelmaa huipulle, josta avautuvat panoraamanäkymät villeälle Atlantin rannikolle, jossa kalliot putoavat jyrkästi vaahtoaviin aaltoihin. Majakanvartijan mökki toimii nykyään viehättävänä kahvilana, jossa tarjoillaan lämpimiä kotitekoisia skonsseja ja henkeäsalpaavia merinäköaloja luoden ainutlaatuisen yhdistelmän historiaa ja mukavuutta.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- Wear sturdy shoes as the path and steps can be uneven and slippery when wet.
- Bring a camera for unparalleled cliff and ocean views from the lighthouse top.
- Try the cafe’s signature scones for a local treat with your visit.
- Visit early in the afternoon for the soft lighting ideal for photography and fewer visitors.
