In 1781 merchants and shipowners petitioned Trinity House for a lighthouse. They obtained a patent in January 1782 which directed that...

Highly recommend taking the chairlift down to Alum Bay and riding the speedboat to take you up close to the Scratchell Bay and Needles Lighthouse.

A lot of attractions around it and based on it. Including a whole carnival, speed boats, and some historical sites where there were either rocket tests or the Old Needles Battery (pay to enter). Take a bus up to the sites or walk, pay for the chairlift down to the beach where there are speedboats or ferries to take.
