    You will also visit a rocky beach, a lagoon, and a lovingly restored lighthouse. Built in 1882 and restored in 1989, the lighthouse has always stayed active and is now listed as a historic property by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

   At the lighthouse visitors can get sidle up to aquariums housing lizards, fish and anemones. Visitors also get to climb a spiral staircase to the top of the building for a bird's-eye view of the property and its environs.
