The original lighthouse was built in 1864, but due to coastal erosion and other problems, it was rebuilt and relocated several times. The current lighthouse was finally built in its current position in 1976 after several moves.

Nice climb to the top of the pass, easy to drive and little traffic. The descent is beautiful through a rocky landscape (unfortunately no stop for a photo)😉. You definitely have to save some grains. The way back is peppered with waves and short but toxic counter climbs🥵
A dream tour ends with a stop at the beach bar🌴🍺
