When we hear the word light house , an image of a huge tall cylindrical pole building with rotating lights at the top comes to our mind. But this light house is a bit different. It's small and really cute. Situated inside the heritage cottage the light house stands at the tip of the cape with a platform extending towards the sea. There are two options for touring for which tickets must be taken at the entrance 1) Heritage pass Only going through cottage, cafe, visit light house (no entry inside) and viewing platform Adult :$5 Senior : $4 Child (4-16years) : free 2)There is a guided light house tour( can enter inside) Adult :$16 Senior : $14 Child (4-16years) :$8 The view platform is really a beautiful place to be at. If you are in the right season then you might be lucky enough to see the whales passing by from the platform. There is a cafe inside the cottage premises. Must visit place. Really wonderful. Parking slots are available at the front of the entrance. I would recommend the opening hours before planning a visit because it keeps changing and might be closed during some days like festive seasons ☺️

Towards the top of a little hill is the lighthouse. Gather all of your belongings and get ready for a quick stroll. An attractive observation deck extends behind the lighthouse. Not only is there a price to enter the area, but there's also an extra charge to climb the lighthouse. The public restrooms may use some cleaning, but overall the area is well-maintained.

Loved the experience. There's two tours you can take. I highly recommend taking the one that shows you inside the lighthouse. Beautiful scenery! If you're there at the right time you can even spot whales. Affordable prices for the tickets. You can get souvenirs and coins here for those who collect.

The lighthouse is well worth visiting. There is an entry fee and you can pay extra for a tour and access to the lighthouse. The board walk allows for lots of angles of the expansive views. Though it may be windy! There was a Cafe but it wasn't open at the time. The shop has standard tourist items and some extra things from local suppliers. Very happy that we made the scenic trek out here.
