Good Service
This old lighthouse tower was amazing The views from the top were (fire emoji) and the street vendors outside had some cool stuff. Vibes were chill, but the queue for tickets was a bit of a bummer. Still, worth it for the beach and the pics 🏖️

Our visit to the Old Lighthouse Tower was a serene experience. The panoramic views were breathtaking, and the tranquility of the surrounding area made for a lovely afternoon. While the lighthouse itself was somewhat modest, the romantic ambiance and beautiful beach nearby made it a memorable stop.

We took the kids to the Old Lighthouse Tower, and it was a mixed bag. The views were great, and the kids loved the street vendors. However, the queue was a bit long, and the lighthouse itself wasn't super kid-friendly. The nearby beach was nice, but the sea was rough. Cleanliness was good, though, and it was relatively safe. Overall, a decent outing but not the best for young kids.
