Grand Turk Lighthouse, Historical lighthouse in Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands.
The white cylindrical cast iron lighthouse rises 18 meters above the northern limestone cliffs of Grand Turk Island, guiding ships through dangerous reefs.
British architect Alexander Gordon designed and constructed this lighthouse in 1852 following multiple shipwrecks, including the R.M.S Medina disaster of 1842.
The National Trust maintains both the lighthouse and keeper's house as protected heritage sites, preserving the maritime history of Turks and Caicos Islands.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds for a 3-dollar entrance fee, which includes credit toward purchases at the gift shop in the former keeper's house.
During February and March, the lighthouse hill becomes a natural observation point for migrating whales passing through the surrounding waters.
