Dji phantom 3 over aruba california lighthouse
Description
The lighthouse is currently under restoration, as of February 2016, with completion scheduled for May 2016. This is to coincide with the 100 anniversary of the building of the lighthouse.
Immediately adjacent to the lighthouse is a restaurant called La Trattoria el Faro Blanco (English: The White Lighthouse Restaurant), and also nearby is the Tierra del Sol Resort, Spa & Country Club.
The terrain is moon-like with sharp rocks sticking out of the ground, making it difficult for people to walk on without sturdy footwear.
