Cape Morgan was constructed in 1964 as a fully automated lighthouse. The stone chance lantern sits atop a 12-meter high lattice tower which is always beautiful to see. To reach the lighthouse, take a scenic walk along the beach, travel up a path along the hill to the old mine’s seawater pump station and then a little further you will see this noteworthy structure.
