A single-track road leads to a car park at the top of the cliffs. A stepped path runs down to the lighthouse, with basalt columns and good chances of whales and dolphins in summer. It's a lovely sunset spot.

Good to know

  • Single-track road, quiet in the evening
  • Path back up is a leg-burner
  • Check weather for strong winds
