The California Lighthouse is Aruba’s most iconic landmark, standing as the tallest structure on the island’s northwestern tip. Built between 1914 and 1916, it was designed by a French architect to guide ships safely around the island’s rocky coast following the tragic wreck of the S.S. California in 1891. Today, it serves as a premier destination for 360-degree panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and the island’s unique desert-like landscape.
