St. John’s Point Lighthouse was first exhibited in 1844. The original lighthouse was painted white. In 1902 three black bands were added. Its current markings of black with two yellow bands have been in place since 1954.
The color of the light was changed from white to red on 1st July 1860. The tower was originally only 14m tall. It was extended to its current dizzying height of 40m in the 1880's and is now the tallest onshore lighthouse on the Irish coast. The lighthouse was automated in 1981.
St John’s Point is the perfect place for a quick visit or a proper refreshing time out. It is easily accessible by car.

Top Strangford and Lecale Hotel Reviews

Manse On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, warm and welcoming - the rooms and common spaces immediately make you feel relaxed and at home. Incredible views across Cloughey Bay and the Irish Sea, with direct access to the sandy beach and dramatic coastline. Amazing spa facilities with a sauna and hot tub too."

The Stables At Ballygraffan - Maurice's Stable

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at the stable! The property was beautiful, clean and close to Belfast. Robena was an amazing and thoughtful hostess. She also communicated well throughout the process-from initial booking, to a week before and then about the check in process. She made us homemade goodies and left other treats for us, something we appreciated as we had not had dinner yet when we checked in! We would totally recommend this property as well as Robena being an amazing hostess!! Would definitely stay again if we were in the area again. "

Cloughey Beach House

8/10 Good

"The place is situated right across from the ocean and not super far from Belfast just need to plan on the country roads to get there. Beautiful countryside. Good fish and chips place beside us and they were very helpful for us. However there were some things lacking. There is no information for you when you enter. We had no hot water until our friendly Chipbuddy neighbours showed us how to turn it on. Yes you can have 12 people stay but some of the beds were NOT comfortable and so those should be thrown out as I felt the springs the entire night. Also not a huge thing but there is no hand soap anywhere. Besides that it was a nice stay. "
