California Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Noord, Aruba.
The California Lighthouse features a 30-meter tall white tower with a black lantern and double gallery, standing on a limestone plateau at Hudishibana.
Built in 1914, the lighthouse commemorates the British steamship S.S. California, which sank near the coast in 1891 before the structure's completion.
The lighthouse represents a significant cultural heritage monument in Aruba, designed by French architect Leon Jean Marie Bourgeois with classical architectural elements.
Visitors can access the lighthouse until 7:00 PM daily for a 5-dollar entrance fee, with nearby restaurants and beaches enhancing the experience.
The structure required donkeys from the Figaroa family to transport construction materials from Oranjestad port to the westernmost point of the island.
