Built in 1913, it may only stand about seven meters tall, but it has guided countless ships safely through these waters. Imagine the sailors relying on their compasses and this very light to navigate the right path. If you listen closely, you might hear the faint whispers of history in the waves. Take a moment to soak in this unique spot, especially on a clear day when the views are truly spectacular.
