Grip the rocks, not your camera
Wear shoes with good traction—wet granite is deceptively slippery even on sunny days.
Time your photos
Early morning or late afternoon light reduces crowds and yields cleaner ocean vistas.
Respect marked areas
Stay behind barriers and avoid climbing onto the lighthouse base; coastal ledges can break unexpectedly.
Pack a light daypack
Bring a waterproof layer, reusable water bottle, and small snacks—fuel up between stops.
Sturdy walking shoes
Non‑slip soles for wet granite, uneven village paths, and short hikes.
Windproof shell
Blocks spray and coastal winds that can chill quickly even on warm days.
Camera or smartphone with weather protection
For capturing lighthouse vistas and detailed rock formations; protect from spray.
Reusable water bottle
Guides provide bottled water, but a refillable bottle reduces waste and keeps you hydrated.
