Please stay off the rocks

Hi

There have been a noticeable number of tourists trying to climb on and around the rocks by the lighthouse.

Firstly this is a prohibited area as the lighthouse is run by the military.

Secondly the rocks are dangerous if you have an accident there you are in dire trouble as you will not get medical facilities or treatment on the scene, I have first hand experience of this after administering first aid to a tourist who fell in the rocks and broke her ankle and dislocated her shoulder.

Thirdly local fisherman have been known to hide dynamite in the rocks which they use for fishing, this stuff is highly unstable, it is thought that an explosion in the rocks on Monday was caused by this.

Fourthly you could encounter snakes, the same advice as for having an accident you will be in dire trouble for medical treatment until you get to hospital, there is no public ambulance service here which can be called on and I have first hand experience of the police ambulance which will be called to assist which only carries a stainless steel gurney.

All in all it is safer to keep of the rocks.

Please stay off the rocks

Hi

Whislt I understand the safety and agree with all the points above, I was led to believe that the area that was classed as Lighthouse property/military was the area of land within the walls and did not cover the land outside. If all the rock area is military property does that mean that the road that goes alongside the wall is also military property?

WELL I AM GOING TO SIT BY THE ROCKS and warn people to stay off [when i get their next week]

Hi

Why spend your holiday doing something that the lifeguards, police, tourist police, should be doing?

Anyhow, enjoy your holiday - rocks or not....
