    Howth Lighthouse stands as a timeless guardian on the rugged cliffs of Howth Head. Perched at the edge of Ireland's eastern coast, it has watched over countless ships as they navigate the perilous waters of the Irish Sea.

    This steadfast sentinel is a symbol of safety and hope for sailors, its guiding light cutting through the darkness to ensure safe passage. The lighthouse's presence is a reminder of the rich maritime heritage of Howth.

      The stairs up to the parking lot offer a great view.

        From Howth Head you can walk down to the lighthouse. There is even a small beach further down.
        However, it is always busy and there are lots of people out and about.
