You can only get here if you have paid the €7.50 entrance fee at the visitor center. Not a lighthouse in the true sense, but a nice additional exhibition in the walk-in lighthouse. The interns are friendly and happy to answer any questions. A visit is worthwhile even when it is foggy. Southwestern point of Ireland!

The rocky outcrop of Mizen Head stretches defiantly into the raging Atlantic and the old lighthouse has stood high above the waves for over 100 years. A few steps and a few turns along the coast and you come to a bridge that takes you out onto the small headland. On the other side you will discover the lighthouse, the old keeper's house and of course the breathtaking scenery of the south-west coast.
