PLAN THE VISIT
A reviewed foundation built from official sources. Traveler edits are checked before publication.
Posted barriers, maintenance and sea conditions always take priority.
Keep off wet rocks and outside railings even when other visitors step there.
Check the lighthouse's own hours if it is part of the plan.
Outdoor availability is not a safety guarantee.
It does not depict the separate lighthouse observatory or prove present bridge conditions.

DAY-OF PLAN
Use the public bridge to the pavilion and keep to signed surfaces around the rocky coastline.
