Not sure if this place is still in operation but the views are amazing from here. Little parking lot just a short walk to the observatory. There is construction going on in the area, be aware of the blast horn and the explosion afterwards. There was another couple there and they looked concerned but we explained to them what just happened as you can feel it through the ground hundreds of feet away. We really enjoyed the day here, would love to come at night to see if this place come alive.

Extremely short walk from the parking lot. Single lane rough road of sorts leading up to a parking lot. Good viewing area and that's it.The building wasn't open and I'm not sure it ever is. I could not find any signs indicating if the building is open to the public.Bit of a waste of time unless you went strictly for the viewNo tickets required, no wait in the viewing area.You only need about 10 minutes to see everythingGarbage can in the parking lot.

I like this place mainly because of the view. It has a gorgeous view of Gonzalez Bay and Victoria. It can be a bit windy so if you go (which I recommend you do) check the weather.

Awesome views of the coast and very easy access, at least from the back. A bit more challenging up the slope from the front but there is a handrail on the steepest section. There are stairs and a rocky path up. Just be careful especially if wet or in poorly lit conditions.

Hands down the absolute best observatory I’ve been to all day. Will return for more sunrise-watching soon. Best wishes to all the dog walkers with their cute dogs. Walking your dog brings joy to so many people.

Great views of Victoria from the Observatory…..nearly 360 degrees. Observatory is not open to the public, but there are several benches to enjoy the view. Dog friendly.
