    Very good place to share with family, friends, or just go to have peace of the urban city. The lighthouse is not very big, but it is very careful, and allows a wonderful view of the coastal area.

    Nice lighthouse, in a rather ugly location (antennas, construction, industrial buildings etc). Worth a visit if you enjoy lighthouses.

    Small lighthouse. Small entrance fee. A tight climb to the top up the narrow stairs. Very nice
