California Lighthouse

At Aruba’s northwest tip, the California Lighthouse offers a high coastal panorama, with a paid tower climb distinct from the outdoor viewpoint.

California Lighthouse

Why go

Climb the tower for a broad view over the northwest coast and the land around Arashi Beach. The lighthouse also works as a landmark on this rocky end of the island, especially when you want a coast view rather than beach time. It takes its name from the steamship California, wrecked nearby in 1891.

What to look for

  • The tower gives a 360-degree view across the northwest coast.
  • Look toward Arashi Beach and the rocky land around the island’s tip.

Useful to know

  • Decide whether you want the tower climb or only the outdoor viewpoint.
  • Check current tower access before making the climb the purpose of your trip.
  • Wear sturdy shoes if you explore the sharp, rocky ground nearby.
