Completely restored by community volunteers in 2015, this 1853 lighthouse was constructed to guide shipping vessels into Georgetown Harbour. It has an unusual octagonal design, shingled in wood and laid out over four stories, measuring 17.5m from base to vane. Tours of the lighthouse are available in the summer season.
