West of the harbour, scramble to the top of the now-defunct 19th-century lighthouse (17m), and visit the tiny maritime museum inside Captain Brinck’s Cabin. (Note that the lighthouse is managed by the hostel warden, so opening hours are erratic.) A soothing coastal path features prolific bird life.
