A small lighthouse known as "the little tower of Pisa", used by sailors to enter the harbour channel.
The station has several lighthouses. The lighthouse of the small pier was built from 1768 to 1780 on the orders of the engineer Lamandé in order to protect the port from silting. It is used by sailors to enter the harbour channel. It is a granite construction from the end of the 19th century. In 1944, the German troops blew up the small jetty, which caused the dike to crack and the sand, on which the base of the lighthouse rests, to escape. Its leaning structure has led to its nickname "the little tower of Pisa".
