The reef in the area is not as good as surrounding sites, but if you want a good vista, then climb up the ladder to the light and take a view from the platform. I recommend a camera as what you'll see you'd expect to be on the back of a postcard! You can climb from the water barefooted, but if you want to go up to the third platform (there isn't anything to see from the forth or fifth), you'll want some sort of booties. Also when you get in the shallows near the tower, you'll see large schools of large parrot fish and angel fish, the largest schools of these I've ever seen.
