Et aktivt fyrtårn fra 1933, der markerer et af de vestligste punkter i den gamle verden, og som er så afsides, at det at nå det føles som afslutningen på en rejse snarere end et hurtigt stop.
- Good to know
- 20 minutter på stedet plus en lang køretur; gratis; medbring vand, intet i nærheden

It's a very curvy road until this place, but quite nice. Sadly you can't visit the light tower, but the sunset is nice and there is a small cave nearby you can also visit (dark but not dangerous).
It’s quite a long drive to get here. You cannot access the lighthouse and there is nothing else to see. You cannot access walk across the road to where there is a cross and a tunnel which Indians go into. Views pretty. Nearby you can drive to a small port where you can swim. Again nothing there, no facilities etc. I wouldn’t put this as one of the best places to visit on the island
One of the best spot on the island. The lighthouse can be seen from afar, since it’s the only construction in the arid and volcanic area. As of the time of this review, it’s one of the most difficult spots to get to, since the roads leading here are steep, narrow and, in their final section, become a rough and dusty dirt road.
Last bit is only unpaved road. The lighthouse is really beautiful and the view is breathtaking. Continue the road even further to get down to a pier which is a nice place for a swim.
A lone lighthouse in the end of a long and winding dirt road. Just as a lighthouse should be.
