📍 From Mermaid Beach, United States
A whimsical 60-foot tower stands tucked against the coastal cliffs of Victoria Beach, appearing like something out of a fairy tale. Built in 1926, it originally served as a spiral staircase from a cliff-top mansion to the ocean below. Locals often call it Pirate Tower, owing to legends of a creative naval captain who would hide coins for children to discover. During low tide, you can walk along the shore to admire its impressive stone exterior. The beach is public, allowing you to snap captivating shots of this unusual landmark. Public access steps near 2713 Victoria Drive lead you down to the sand. Plan your visit around lower tides for easier exploration, and arrive at sunrise or sunset to capture the tower’s storybook charm.
