  • I was sorry that you cannot go up in the lighthouse. There were booths selling things in the parking lot... But the drinks were HUGE! Get one!!!

  • Pinchos, empanadas and drinks all very good. Watched surfers at Dome Beach and saw whales out in the ocean. What a great way to spend an afternoon!

  • Very nice lighthouse and park. Lots of areas to seat and/or just admire the beautiful beach nearby. We were lucky to see whales!!! Also, there was a surfing competition the same day we were there, so it was nice to watch it for a while. There were local vendors on the parking lot selling crafts. I'm not sure if it is always there or just because of the surfing competition. Anyway, nice place to stop by, take pics and enjoy the views!
  • Beautiful historical light house, and the ocean very is peaceful. While we were there we spotted two humpback whales in the water. 🐋 We watched the sunset on the horizon. It was a great way to spend the evening. There is also restrooms inside the park and a small cafe with a bar as well.
