Arronmore Lighthouse is found on the North West corner of the island. It has been there in various forms since 1798. The island is twinned with Beaver Island USA which is the biggest island on Lake Michigan.

The lighthouse holds a significant link with the USA as it is where American Wayne Dickinson was found after crossing the Atlantic from Boston in a 8ft 9 inch boat known as 'Gods Tear'. At the time this was the smallest ever craft to cross the Alantic.

After 142 days a storm swept him onto rocks below Arranmore Island and Wayne was found at the lighthouse having retreated to it.

It is worth stepping off the bike here and exploring the area around the lighthouse on foot. Please take care and stay away from the cliff edges, they are vertial!
