Unfortunately the lighthouse was closed when I hiked up the mountain. But the scenery was very spectacular! Oh ... dark blue calm sea!!! Unspeakable color. A tip...if you have time and patience, walk up and sit mid-landing (they have people talking about whales). Waiting for half an hour is good enough to see whales cross and jump out of the water. No need to waste money watching whale cruises at all! Be sure to take some water, umbrella or big hat as it is quite hot without shade throughout the hike.
