Andrew R If you want desolation, eerie charm and a good walk from Fingal Beach, this is just for you! I ventured up here on an overcast, stormy morning and was rewarded by old heritage listed abandoned lighthouse keeper cottages, and of course, a lighthouse.
It’s walkable in bare feet - there are no facilities here apart from a small shelter and information board.
It’s well worth the trek.
Steep climb in one part (plus beach approach) excludes access for wheelchairs and those with mobility difficulties.
**BUT REMEMBER** access is by way of Fingal Spit, which is treacherous at high tide. It’s essential you do the walk approaching low tide, and be off before high tide. Do not try to swim across, the currents are strong. Unfortunately lives have been lost here.
