Tower and cape

The coastal safety authority dates the lighthouse to 1931. Its nine-metre masonry tower stands 104 metres above sea level. Distinguish the height of the structure from the height of the cape to understand its place in the view.

Seeing the light

The tower and keeper’s house are protected structures. Check current access and a return route before approaching by land. From the water, distinguish the modern navigation light from the lower archaeological remains along the shore.
