One of Aruba's scenic attraction and landmarks is the California Light House located at Hudishibana close to Arashi beach. It is considered to be the tallest structure in Aruba. It was named after the British steamship California, which was wrecked on September 23, 1891.
This lighthouse is considered to be one of the most photogenic spots in Aruba, and also known for impressive views of the Caribbean sea.
It is open to the public by allowing visitors to climb to its highest lookout point and take in panoramic views.
It was built between 1914-1916 with stone on an octagonal base. It is a double-lens lighthouse, standing at 98 feet tall.
At the top is also a restaurant which is a must do when visiting Aruba. (Sadly, climbing the lighthouse and trying the restaurant was not part of our package tour, so I couldn't tell much further what the experience is like.)
