Been here?
Access to this remote parking place is currently blocked for all vehicles by wooden barriers. When accessible, it was a small cliffside spot with room for about 2 vans and no services. The location offers spectacular views near the lighthouse, but mosquitoes have repeatedly made overnight stays unpleasant, and an unpleasant sewage-plant smell has also been reported.

We were there in June 2026; spectacular view just steps from the lighthouse. The only downside was that we had lots of mosquitoes in the van overnight because it is surrounded by vegetation.
Lots of mosquitoes, and the sewage treatment plant has an unpleasant smell. We left again quickly. There are also lots of mosquitoes at the spots before this one, so be careful.
Along this small road to the left of the lighthouse, you can find 5 or 6 spots where you can camp without any problem. We camped for two nights and had a really good time! The sunset landscape is stunning!
Mosquitoes!!!!! Otherwise, panoramic view. We took the path that starts behind the lighthouse toward the power station. Numerous spots are available all along the cliff.
Full of mosquitoes. We had to leave in the middle of the night because of the huge number of mosquitoes.
I’m giving it 3 stars for the sunset, but don’t sleep here. We had to leave in the early hours because we couldn’t stand the mosquitoes anymore. Such a shame, as it’s a fantastic place.
Infested with mosquitoes near the sewage treatment plant!!! We didn’t sleep a wink and had to leave at 4 a.m.! I don’t recommend it.
