Byron Bay Lighthouse 🌞
A beautiful white lighthouse located at the easternmost point of mainland Australia. The view from here is truly spectacular, and the blue of the sea and sky seems to cleanse my soul✨
The day I visited, there were a lot of clouds, but the weather was good, and if you're lucky, you can even see whales! (June to November is whale watching season🐋)
🚶♀️There is a slight slope to the lighthouse, but the road along the sea is very pleasant and worth the walk!
I took a different route on the way there and back, and both were easy to walk. You can also use Uber, but I recommend walking as a way to get some exercise♪
Luckily, I also encountered koalas and owls along the trail🦘🦉! The fun of walking in nature is also one of the attractions.
If you want to see the sunrise, we recommend visiting early in the morning when it is easy to find and the roads are clear. 🌅
📍Location: Cape Byron Lighthouse
🕒Time required: About 40 to 60 minutes one way from the center (near Main Beach)

Cape Byron Lighthouse – The easternmost point of mainland Australia
This beautiful white lighthouse has an amazing view. The blue ocean and sky will refresh your heart✨
When I visited, it was a bit cloudy, but the weather was still nice. If you’re lucky, you might see whales! (Whale watching season is from June to November 🐋)
🚶♀️The walk to the lighthouse is a little uphill, but the coastal path is really pleasant. I took a different route for the way there and back—both were easy to walk.
You can also take an Uber, but I recommend walking for some light exercise!
If you want to see the sunrise, going early in the morning is the best time 🌅

Byron Bay
Cape Byron Lighthouse🌊
I was very impressed when we drove up to the lighthouse.
I was surprised to see such a beautiful sea and greenery in 360 degrees!
The sunset is also very beautiful!
This photo was taken in January, and the sea was a little murky and the sand was worn down when I visited recently, probably due to the effects of the typhoon. I wonder when it will be fully restored...🥲
⚠️Anyway, there are few parking spaces, so you will have to drive around many times or walk about 30 minutes to park. (Even then, it's hard to find a space)I've only been there on weekends, but...

The Oldest Lighthouse of Hong Kong
Cape D’Aguilar is a very popular hiking spot for its picturesque landscape along the coast and a few exceptional natural phenomenon. Lying north of Shek O in Hong Kong’s southeastern coast, it offers a good view of the coastline as hikers descend from the motor way to the sites along the coastline. It is also where Hong Kong’s oldest lighthouse is. Cape D’Aguilar was named after the Major-General George Charles D’Aguilar. During WWII, Cape D’Aguilar served a defensive function as part of the Eastern Fire Command.
The Bokhara Battery is located in the Cape D’Aguilar area. During the 1930s, there were proposals to build gun platforms in Cape D’Aguilar. The two gun platforms were just ready for service when Japan invaded Hong Kong. The Bokhara Battery acquired its name from the rock cropping that lied at the ends of the Cape D’Aguilar Peninsula. Its firepower was higher than the Cape D’Aguilar Battery. It is believed that the two cannons that were stationed at the Bokhara Battery came from the Pottinger Battery in Devil's Peak.
Today, Cape D’Aguilar is an environmentally protected area as the Cape D’Aguilar Marine Reserve. This status results in the area being free of any type of water sport of other related activities. Please observe this prohibition to preserve the marine environment.

Helen Yu (Chestnut Journal) Leading up to the Lighthouse
Sardinia is a beautiful island and very famous for its amazing beaches but it also has some great hiking trails. Even around the city of Calgary, there are some very nice places for a leisurely hike. Once at the top you get great views of the Mediterranean sea and some of the nearby beaches. There is also an historical signal tower dating from 1638 close to thelighthouse.

The Farolim de Felgueiras is a picturesque lighthouse at the mouth of the Douro River in Foz do Douro, Porto, Portugal.

Discover the wild beauty of the crystal blue water and sandstone cliffs along Lake Superior in MI
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, MI, USA
You have to visit Michigan and do a boat cruise to take in all of the beauty Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore has to offer. You can even see a waterfall which cascadeds 70 feet into Lake Superior, as well as East Channel Lighthouse, Miners Castle, Lovers’ Leap, Indian Head, Grand Portal and Chapel Rock just to name a few of the natural landmarks along these stunning rocks. The mineral-stained sandstone cliffs and Caribbean-blue Lake Superior stretch 42 miles between Munising and Grand Marais. When groundwater from the cliffs’ cracks drizzles down the rocks, stunning colors appear. Red identifies iron, black and white mean manganese, yellow and brown show limonite and pink and green show copper. It looks like a painting in some spots and absolutely beautiful, pictures don't do it justice and do not show the magnitude of how BIG the cliffs actually are. You have to check out the views from the top as well to put it into perspective. Don't miss this natural wonder of the great U.P.!

Ke Ga, the oldest lighthouse in Vietnam
#vietnamtrip
#lighthouse
Standing majestically on a rocky outcrop, Ke Ga Lighthouse in Binh Thuan province, Vietnam immediately captivates with its historic charm and coastal beauty. Built in 1899, it's the oldest lighthouse in Vietnam, offering a striking contrast between its ancient stone structure and the azure sea. "Ke Ga" means roaster in Vietnamese. Surrounded by smooth boulders and clear waters, the lighthouse provides a serene and picturesque setting that evokes a sense of timeless tranquility and maritime heritage. You just pay for your parking, the entrance is free but you will have a long walk before reaching to this view point.
🇵🇹 Cape Roca, the Westernmost Point of Continental Europe
Cabo da Roca or Cape Roca is a cape which forms the westernmost point of continental Europe. It is about 20 km and 30 minutes drive from Sintra. The cape is famous for its spectacular steep cliffs rising 140m above the Atlantic Ocean. On the highest point of Cabo da Roca stands a 22-m lighthouse built in 1772.
It was very windy at the cliff during our visit. We also witnessed an approaching storm over the sea. Keep in mind not to climb over the fences as there have been a few accidents in the past where people fell to death while taking photos near the cliffs.

Kaohsiung Lighthouse
The Kaohsiung Lighthouse, also known as Cihou Lighthouse, stands proudly on Cijin Island, just off the coast of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. It's a historic landmark dating back to the late 19th century. It was first constructed in 1883 during the Qing Dynasty of China to guide ships safely through the waters of the Taiwan Strait and into the port of Kaohsiung, which was an important trading hub at the time.
We took the ferry from Kaohsiung City KW2 pier to Cijin Island. Ferries also depart regularly from Gushan Ferry Pier. From Cijin Pier we walked about 1 km to reach the lighthouse which is located at the southern tip of Cijin Island. It was quite a steep climb from the foot of Mount Cihou to the lighthouse. We enjoyed the panoramic views of Kaohsiung City, the harbor, and the Taiwan Strait from the lighthouse.

My Solo Jeju Winter Hike and City Trip
The highligh of this trip was the winter hike in Mt Hallasan one that you can take even if you are hiking solo. The view is amazing, you may hate the hike but you will forget everything once you’re up there. I took the yeongsil-eorimok trail.
Jeju is a safe island for female solo travellers. Highly recommended! Lots of cute cafes, you will never run out of caffeine fix, a heaven for coffee addict 😁 Even their convenience store got a lot of goodies to try. I stayed in 2 locations for my 6 days trip, first near the beach and 2nd was in the city area and it was a great decision. More time to explore the city by foot or by bus. They have very efficient transportation throughout the island although its less frequent when you are far out of the city but it is still manageable.
For transportation you can use kakaotalk or just use google map, bus options will be listed there with bus frequency and timing.
Hiking Mt Hallasan-You can take the bus but make sure to take the first trip as it is pretty crowded and you will be surprised that there’s a lot of hikers from young to old even in winter.
Visiting lighthouses and beaches:do check the weather prior to going out as it can get really windy by the seaside. Bringing poncho is much better than umbrella.
Popular places have long queues like london bagel museum so plan ahead. You dont wanna be stuck in one place for long hours and missed seing other places.
Jeju is a place I would love to visit again and again.

Nice visit: Blacksod Lighthouse 🗺️
#timetotravel
Blacksod Lighthouse, perched at the edge of County Mayo in Ireland, is a maritime marvel that left me mesmerized by its rugged beauty and historical significance. My visit to this iconic lighthouse was a journey into Ireland's coastal heritage.
Standing before Blacksod Lighthouse, overlooking the wild Atlantic Ocean, I was struck by its towering presence against the dramatic backdrop of cliffs and crashing waves. The panoramic views of the surrounding seascape were breathtaking.
What sets Blacksod Lighthouse apart is its maritime importance, particularly its role during World War II and its connection to weather forecasting. The lighthouse's remote location adds to its sense of isolation and grandeur.
The lighthouse's place on the stunning Wild Atlantic Way route makes it accessible while exploring the coastal beauty of County Mayo. For history enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a connection with Ireland's coastal history, Blacksod Lighthouse is a must-visit. It's a place where history and the power of the sea merge, leaving you with a profound appreciation for Ireland's maritime past.

Beautiful Cape Byron Lighthouse 🇦🇺
#timetotravel
The Cape Byron Lighthouse, perched atop the easternmost point of mainland Australia, is a captivating destination that offers a breathtaking perspective of the continent's rugged coastline. My visit to this iconic lighthouse was a journey to the edge of the world.
Reaching the lighthouse required a picturesque coastal hike through the lush Cape Byron Reserve. The panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean meeting the dramatic cliffs were simply awe-inspiring. The vibrant marine life and the occasional glimpse of migrating whales added to the allure.
Standing next to the historic lighthouse, I was struck by its timeless beauty and the sense of history it embodies. The opportunity to climb to the top and gaze across the endless horizon was a fitting reward.
The Cape Byron Lighthouse is not just a must-visit for its natural beauty, but also for the sense of wonder and connection it imparts. It's a place where the land meets the sea, and you're left in awe of the vastness of our world. #australia #lighthouse #trip #instatravel

Whale watching, that is supposed to be the plan
Me and my friend, we decided to test our luck whether we can spot the whale from the light house, and the report come out we didn't find any. Quite sad about it, but still the walk to the lighthouse was very enjoyable. The road is easy to walk, there also many signs on the way telling us which way to go and even if you don't look at the signs, your Google map is good too. I find the house on the road to be quite charming and I want one too.

GUISI LIGHT HOUSE: PICTURESQUE VIEW
Although the structure of Guisi lighthouse is already disarray, rotten metal remains and almost ruined, yet being the one of the oldest lighthouses in the country makes it a historical landmark. It is located in Nueva Valencia, Guimaras. It is actually an 18th century spanish colonial lighthouse, 17.5 meters high with octagonal and cylindrical tower, built to guide mariners passing iloilo and guimaras. I walked for 15 minute trail from the parking area and enjoy the view of the sea. The experience is so relaxing, enjoyable and a little bit nostalgic on top. The entrance is reasonable for 10php only. It is an spectacular viewing experience. Must see in Guimaras.#mountainview#CelebrateWithTrip#MyTripVlog#tripblazers#lighthouse

Iconic Lighthouse - A Beacon of the West
Spotted the lighthouse from afar and decided to make a quick stop there before going for dinner. It is definitely a photo spot for families and couples. Even the view along the pier to the lighthouse is amazing!
The best time to visit is during sunset for some IG/Trip-worthy shots! We missed it as we had to run for dinner but managed to catch it when we were having our meals (2nd last photo).
Breakwater fishing is also available at the pier but it comes with a fee. For public, weekday day-pass costs $20 nett and weekend day-pass costs $25 nett. If you are a member, it is free.
Getting to Raffles Marina is convenient as Tuas station is just right next to it. There are plenty of carpark spaces, and if you dine in any of the restaurants, you can request for parking coupons. Free parking with coupons is limited to 120 minutes.
Ending the post with a quote from my husband, "fishing is not about the fish. It is about training yourself to be patient". Probably true when you fish overlooking the lighthouse and marina. 🤩
Address - 10 Tuas West Dr, Singapore 638404
Ambiance/Facilities - A place good for relaxing
Highlights - The iconic lighthouse

Iconic Hornsby Lighthouse- Sydney
Sydney is a place filled with magnificent views especially at hornsby lighthouse. Hornsby lighthouse is located at S Head Heritage Trail, Watsons Bay NSW 2030, Australia and is open daily from 7am to 7pm. The place closes due to safety reasons.
A drive up to hornsby only takes approximately 20mins and you will be greeted with magnificent ocean views. There are not many tourists here but generally locals most likely live around the area to watch the sunset or having a pinic while soaking up the views and enjoying the breeze.
The lighthouse was built in 1958 and it is a iconic red and white striped tower that is hard to miss. The walk up towards the top is relatively easy, but this place is not wheelchair friendly as there are some steps to access towards the lighthouse.

Scenic and Peaceful Slice of Georgia
1. St. Simon’s Island
Address - Glynn County, Georgia
Highlights - With Beautiful Beaches, a Historic lighthouse, Ancient Trees, and marshes immortalized by poet Sidney Lanier, the island is a great place to relax and unwind. If you are up for it, you can rent a bike for a few hours and ride down the paths along the coastline, stopping along the way to rest in the shade of the moss covered oaks that characterize much of the island. There is a public waterpark and many playgrounds directly above the beaches where children can play. As for local shops, my favorite was Savannah Bee Company, which has a honey tasting bar and a huge variety of products featuring honey, from authentic mead to skins care products and even medicinal products. #gooutside #beachlife
