Point Stephens Lighthouse and Fingal Island

Perched on Fingal Island within Tomaree National Park, Point Stephens Lighthouse offers panoramic views over Fingal Bay's rocky outcrops. Constructed in 1862, its distinctive flared tower base and first-floor entrance, along with the adjoining terrace of Lighthouse Keepers' quarters, set it apart from other Australian lighthouses. Accessing the island is best achieved via organized boat tours, as the sand spit connecting to the mainland is hazardous and conditions can change rapidly. Guided tours provide insights into the lighthouse's rich history and the island's natural beauty.
