The predominant feature of the village is the Alnes Lighthouse which was built in 1876. The lighthouse is still in operation and it is accessible for tourists. It also houses an art gallery and a small historical museum. There is also the old road along the north coast of the island. The road is closed for car traffic (cyclists and walkers only). It has two tunnels of its own.
