Today is the "lazy" day, for visiting the surroundings by foot and boat - first we're going to visit the Eierland Lighthouse and then go to the Seal tour. The boat route starts and finishes close to De Cocksdorp.
The lighthouse was built on top of a 20-metre high sand dune, and was lit on 1 November 1864. At that time, the distance from the lighthouse to the sea was 3 kilometres. During WW2, in April 1945 the lighthouse suffered heavy damage. It was repaired by constructing a new wall around it, so from the inside you can still see the the damage made to the (now) inner wall.
