Albion, the cliff and the lighthouse
Albion, Rivière Noire · West
The island's only working lighthouse stands above a coast of basalt cliffs battered by the waves. You picnic on the grass up top, facing the open ocean with the spray rising. Nothing like a lagoon beach: it's raw, windy and spectacular at sunset.
