Our boatman brought as to the rocky side of the island, where the waves and rocky shore welcomes us. In this side of the island you have to climb a steep trail of stairs that is made of the islands rocks. The ruins is very evident in this side of the island, wherein you can see a tunnel like structure. This route to the lighthouse is much easier than coming from the other side of the island.

After being captivated by the lighthouse of Capones we decided to take a few walk in the island. We headed to a nearby cliff to be amazed again by the beauty of the island.
We walked through a field in reaching the cliff, wherein the breeze of the South China Sea will touch your skin. But be careful in exploring the islands, it is always nice to have a local tour guide with you. Locals have different stories regarding the island as being enchanted; which just add up to the whole adventure.
