Fodor's Expert Review California Lighthouse

Caribbean Family Fodor's Choice

Built in 1916, the landmark lighthouse on the island’s northwestern tip is open to the public, and visitors can climb the spiral stairs to discover a fabulous panoramic view for a small fee. Declared a national monument in 2015, the lighthouse was built because of and named after the merchant ship California that sunk nearby. There are also spectacular private catered three-course dinner experiences for two people at the top that can be booked through Experitours; there's a choice of sunset or under-the-stars seating. They also do a catered breakfast. It's one of only two lighthouse dining experiences in the world.
