Om
Snabba fakta: Dess ljusstrålar når 26 nautiska mil över Atlanten och fungerar som en viktig ledning för sjöfarten. Fyren automatiserades 1980 men har fortfarande sitt ursprungliga Fresnel-linsystem, en sällsynt egenskap för en sådan plats.
Höjdpunkter: Besökare kan klättra de 92 trappstegen till toppen, där panoramautsikt över den vilda Atlantkusten breder ut sig och visar klippor som stupar brant ner i brännande vågor. Fyrvaktarens stuga fungerar nu som ett charmigt kafé som erbjuder varma hembakade scones och hisnande havsutsikt, vilket skapar en unik blandning av historia och bekvämlighet.
Insidertips
- 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.
