The cast-iron lighthouse at the northern end of Grand Turk, built in 1852, was once the only navigational aid in the entire Turks Bank. Decommissioned for active use, the structure is preserved as a national monument and the surrounding cliffs are one of the better spots on the island for a sunset.
Drive or bike out — it is around 9 km from Cockburn Town. The track at the back of the lighthouse leads down to a snorkelling spot known locally as "Lighthouse" where a shallow reef shelves quickly to the wall.
