Lighthouse of the Week, August 17-23, 2014: Aruba's California Lighthouse


According to Lighthouses of Aruba, there are three lighthouses in Aruba.  One is a modern light tower, nothing more than a box with a light on it on a post.  One of them is a retired tower that has been converted into the Historical Museum of Aruba.

So the only really noteworthy lighthouse is the California lighthouse, on the island's northern end.  It commands a view of a natural sand dune area and a golf course, and there's a good Italian restaurant next to it (the building with the red roof in the third picture).  It's pretty easy to see from a distance on the flat tropical island.
