This is a beautiful location of a famous landmark called Point of Ayre Lighthouse. It's at the very top of the Isle of Man, an island that's nestled right between Great Britain and Ireland. This awesome lighthouse was designed by a famous Scottish engineer named Robert Stevenson and started shining its light in 1818.
Standing at a height of 30 meters (that's 98 feet!), it rocks a snazzy red and white color scheme. Its main job is to help sailors and ships find their way, especially when dealing with the tricky waters and strong currents around the island. The lighthouse flashes a white light every 10 seconds, which can be seen up to 19 nautical miles away. How cool is that?
It's looked after by the Northern Lighthouse Board, who make sure all the lighthouses in Scotland and the Isle of Man are in tip-top shape.
This is a beautiful sea view, an incredible landscape but so many pebbles on the beach makes it difficult to walk along, so put something in your feet.
This location is well loved by tourists and locals alike and there is a carpark near by, and if you pick the right spot you will be overlooking the sea.
Well worth a visit.
Maybe take a picnic, prepare for rain and...

Read moreThe Point of Ayre on the Isle of Man offers expansive, open spaces perfect for outdoor activities. The area is great for barbecuing, as you can set up and cook virtually anywhere. However, visitors should be aware that there are often quite a few people drinking, and there seems to be a lack of authority presence.
One significant downside is the absence of warning signs about the extremely strong sea currents. This could pose a serious risk to those unaware of the dangers. It would be beneficial to have a webcam installed to monitor the area for safety and provide real-time updates...
