Galley Head Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Ireland
The Galley Head Lighthouse stands as a sentinel on the southern coast of Ireland near Rosscarbery, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
This historic beacon was first lit on March 1, 1878, to guide ships safely by the rocky shores.
Galley Head Lighthouse is a testament to Ireland's maritime heritage and navigational advancements.
Operated by the Commissioners of Irish Lights, it's not generally open to the public, but its grounds offer spectacular views.
Due to its high elevation, the lighthouse boasts one of the brightest lights in Europe, visible from up to 30 nautical miles away.
