"Built between 1914 and 1916 on an octagonal base, this stone, double-lens lighthouse is Aruba ’s marquee landmark. Standing tall at 98 feet, it’s the higheststructure on the island and offers the best views in its respective area. It gets its name fromthe SS California , a British steamship that sank in nearby waters in 1891 and now functions as a fantastic dive site. Adjacent to the lighthouse, visitors will find a beloved Italian restaurant and the California White Sand Dunes, a hot spot for dune surfing."
