Fingal Head Lighthouse

The volcanic origins of the Tweed Valley are evident in the ancient lava flows that form Fingal Head. From the Lighthouse Parade car park, follow a sandy walking track to Australia’s very own Giant’s Causeway. The 1872 lighthouse here also has its own claim to fame – as one of the shortest in NSW! Migrating humpbacks often pass close to shore between Fingal Head and Cook Island. Protected as a marine reserve, the reef surrounding the island is home to a permanent population of green and loggerhead turtles and is a popular spot for snorkeling and diving.
