South Stack Lighthouse, which was completed in 1809, is sited 41 m (135 ft) above the sea on South Stack. Its lamp tower is 28 m (92 ft) tall and the lighthouse complex covers seven acres (2.8 ha). There are over 390 stone steps and 10 metal steps down to the footbridge. It's one of the few remaining lighthouses that still uses liquid mercury.

The lighthouse is open every day, a sign indicating the times is at the top of the steps. You can pay cash at the lighthouse, or by Credit Card if you get your tickets at the visitor center. The climb to the top of the lighthouse is superb!
