Enjoyed the Lighthouse. It was really cool. However, the beach was nasty. It was just a little beach park. We didn't stay long because it was over crowded with locals and extremely dirty. But, you should go see the Lighthouse. More

Everyone is attracted to lighthouses...this one is no different. 5 days of the week you can get a guided tour of the lighthouse. Many information board with history of the area and lighthouse. The lighthouse keepers residence is also at the base of the lighthouse and is a great attraction. More
