Beachy Head Lighthouse, Grade II listed lighthouse at the foot of chalk cliffs, Eastbourne, England
The white and red striped lighthouse stands 43 meters tall against the chalk cliffs, providing essential navigation guidance for maritime traffic.
Built in 1902 to replace the original Belle Tout lighthouse, this stone structure marked a significant advancement in maritime safety along the English Channel.
The lighthouse represents British maritime engineering excellence and serves as a symbol of East Sussex's connection to seafaring traditions.
The structure remains operational through solar power and automated systems, continuing its vital role in protecting ships from the dangerous waters.
Located on a platform carved from chalk seabed, the lighthouse requires helicopter access for maintenance due to its isolation from the mainland.
