The island’s signature attraction, this candy-striped lighthouse was an object of community-wide loathing when built in 1863. Many here supplemented their incomes by salvaging loot off ships that crashed against the cay’s treacherous reefs – usually one a month – and an 89ft lighthouse was the last thing these ‘wreckers’ needed. Today, you can check out views from the top, if you dare. To get here, ask the ferry operator to drop you at the lighthouse. Catch the next mainland ferry back by waving to the captain from the dock.
