  • Be prepared for a fair amount of gravel road driving to get there. The light house is interesting but not that special and you could only view it from outside. Some nice walks around the light...

  • The lighthouse is a nice structure: a bit out of the way to visit but worth doing so if travelling down from Mt William National Park. Spectacular views from the lighthouse itself.

  • The Lighthouse is readily accessible and there are other sandstone cottages around Eddystone Point. The Lighthouse helped to avoid shipping disasters along the coastline. An impressive sandstone...

  • Fun ride on the bike. Some good & some not so good sections of gravel. All do able, but some areas quite corrugated. The buildings were interesting, but the views, rock formations, bays & crystal clear waters were magnificent. Wildlife is quite abundant. Plenty of wallabies around the trees near the lighthouse & outbuildings. Eagles, frigate & mutton birds plus a waddling echidna. Had a great visit with a picnic down by the waters edge in front of the lighthouse & south.
  • You need to walk down the path to have a surprise of awesome red stones near the ocean. The lighthouse it's just fantastic made out of sandstone and tall. Worth the visit, one of my favourite places in the east coast
  • When we finally got there it was one of the most impressive lighthouses we have seen in this great state of ours. The gravel road on the way in is badly corrugated and it will take it out of most cars, took us thirty six minutes to go the nine kilometres in. Needs some work for sure that road. I don't regret going in but the round trip took ages, maybe at the very least there needs to be some sort of signage letting people know how bad the road is.
  • Well worth the trip in - but be warned the dirt roads are tricky to drive on if you have a 2WD vehicle - and yes be prepared for the car to get dirty!!! Once on location the beach is well worth exploring and so too is the lighthouse and related old buildings. There is a decent drop toilet on site and shelter during strong winds.
  • One of the nicest lighthouses in Tasmania built of local stone with a number of keepers cottages nearby and on the farthest east spot you can go. Gravel road to get there but it's not in bad condition even after recent rain . Well worth a visit if you're in Tasmania
