    Tips

    Out at the rugged end of Whiteford sands is Whiteford Point (also referred to as Whitford Point) and Whiteford Lighthouse which was built in 1865 to mark Whitford Point shoals in the Burry estuary. This is a great rather sandy windblown place for a hike but I love the great sea views.

    Should you wish to walk out to the lighthouse then be wary as it is only accessible for roughly ninety minutes either side of low tide. Check the tide times 'before' you attempt to do it and it would be advisable not to do it on your own. Suitable footwear is also advised as it it will be obviously wet underfoot.
