Built in 1875, this iconic lighthouse stands on the headland of Dundeady Island, providing crucial guidance to ships navigating the treacherous waters off the southern coast of Ireland. The lighthouse tower, which is 21 meters tall, is painted white and features a red lantern gallery, making it easily recognizable. The light itself can be seen for up to 23 nautical miles.
