The California Lighthouse in Aruba offers stunning panoramic views of the island's coastline and is a popular spot for sunset watching. While the lighthouse itself has limited accessibility, the surrounding area is generally accessible. A visit can be enjoyed solo or as part of a guided tour, with the latter providing more historical context. There aren't significant seasonal restrictions, but the Aruban sun can be intense, so plan accordingly. Budget around $10-$15 USD for entry to the lighthouse and potentially more for a guided tour or snacks. A typical visit lasts about 1-2 hours. It is advisable to book tickets in advance to avoid lines, especially during peak tourist season.
