The Noss Head lighthouse was built in the 19th century and is notable for being the first to be built with a diagonally patterned lantern room.

The Keepers cottage and house have been converted to holiday accommodation. The light itself has been upgraded from a traditional rotational design to a static LED beam, the light of which can be seen for 25 miles.

The end of the peninsula offers nice views along the coast towards Ackergil.
