The Lightkeepers' Precinct

Walk through the historic stone buildings that housed isolated lighthouse keepers and their families.

Photo: tour listing on Viator

Located around the base of the tower, the precinct features original structures built from local limestone. These buildings housed the early custodians who kept the 1895 navigational beacon running in severe coastal weather.

Access to this area is included with both the standard guided tower tour and the cheaper grounds-only pass.
