A dramatic headland of honey-coloured sandstone cliffs and sea arches sculpted by the relentless Atlantic surge; the turquoise water navigates a series of hidden grottoes and 20-metre sea stacks accessible via steep stone stairways; arrive at the lighthouse at 8 am to witness the Atlantic breakers pulverising the base of the cliffs; the air is thick with salt spray and the hollow roar of the sea echoing through the limestone tunnels.
