Book this if

  • You want 360-degree views from the island's northern tip
  • You want a classic sunset photo spot
  • You want to climb an actual historic lighthouse
  • You want dunes and coastline for photos, not just a viewpoint

Skip this if

  • You want to avoid crowds and don't want to visit at sunset
  • You want a standalone ticket, it only books through a broader island tour

Why our team recommends it

The California Lighthouse sits at Aruba's northern tip with genuine 360-degree views, and it earns its reputation at sunset when the sky turns orange, pink, and purple. Come at sunrise instead if you want the same view without the sunset crowds. It isn't sold as its own ticket, so the CTA books the half-day island tour that stops here.

Pro tip

Come for sunrise instead of sunset for a crowd-free experience that's equally stunning. The dunes around the lighthouse are perfect for photos.
