Established in 1846, this lighthouse is perched atop a 245-foot hill. Visitors who climb the narrow 185 steps to the top of the 117-foot building will be rewarded by breathtaking ocean views. The tearoom at the base of the lighthouse is the perfect place to refuel after the grueling climb.

This center is housed in a modest, lemon-colored, 18th-century building that once served as a storage place for the Royal British navy.

Much of the art is for sale; exhibits, which contain between 80 to 100 works, change every six weeks.
