Westport Viewing Tower — Attraction in Westport

We visited Westport on a Sunday, but since the weather wasn’t great, we decided to just explore the area a bit. One of our first stops was Richard’s Donuts — and now we know why it was packed. The place is absolutely delicious!

We came back on Monday when the weather was much nicer, and we finally got to enjoy the stunning view from the Westport Viewing Tower. It’s definitely worth the climb — the stairs are easy to navigate, and the view from the top is beautiful. You can see how the jetties are thoughtfully designed to break the waves, and if you take your time, you might spot some ocean life in the distance.
