November 2017. The lighthouse is a lovely picture perfect spot. Plenty of space and parking. Good for kids, close to Ballina and an easy 4 minute walk to and from the cliffs with magnificent views up and down the beach. Allow an hour at least. Highly recommended 😃

Surprised at how small and quaint the lighthouse is. It doesn't detract from the beautiful view overlooking the waves though and you can easily park your car just near the lighthouse on the grass. Grab a few photos and have a quick walk around

A tiny lighthouse, first established in 1866 , replaced by this light in 1878. This light actually pumped out plenty of power, which could be seen for 12 nautical miles out to sea. Well worth a look as the surrounding views are magic.

We were only close to the lighthouse at the lookout. There we were able to see 5 whales in about 30 minutes. We did see a tourist boat resting off shore and able to watch 3 of these whales who stayed and played for at least 15 minutes, close to this boat. I would love to have been on that boat because of this fantastic experience. But I do not know whose...
