We were hit with such a force of wind I couldn't stand up on my own! Until you get in the middle between the two hills, then you are sheltered and safe. The light house itself was very nice. But it was too windy for us to look for sea lions or any other creature. Not busy at all though, great if you want to escape the crowds.

We stopped by here when on the way to Slope Point, short detour from the Southern Scenic Route. Well signed, ample parking space and with toilets facilities. The lighthouse is just a stone throw away from parking, great views but the winds were very strong, wear layers.

A little bit remote area to meet the sea lion colony with its nice lighthouse and calm area. Barefoot is recommended while walking on the sand to be a paparazzi of chilling sea lions.

A very small walk to the lighthouse. Nice view and next to the path was a sea lion chilling. I didn't expect that so it was a cool activity!
