Inishowen Head Lighthouse: A Classic Beauty

The Inishowen Head Lighthouse, located beside Stroove Beach in Inishowen Head, is a classic beauty that has been lighting the way for ships since it was first lit in 1838. The small black and white tower stands tall on the rugged headland, offering stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding coastline.

Although the lighthouse itself is not open to visitors, the area around it is perfect for a leisurely stroll. You can explore the rugged terrain around the lighthouse and take in the stunning views of the ocean and the coastline.
