High on the rocky headland, north of Lighthouse beach, is Tacking Point Lighthouse.
Built in 1879 and designed by NSW Colonial Architect, James Barnet, Tacking Point Lighthouse is one of 5 similarly designed navigational lighthouses. The other 4 being; Fingal Head Lighthouse, Richmond River Light, Clarence River Light (now demolished) and Crowdy Head Lighthouse (all built between 1878-1880). Only Tacking Point Lighthouse & Crowdy Head Light still have the storeroom attached.

Great place and a superb looking lighthouse, do like the last photo
Beautiful Liz, especially the colours of the last. Now I know why the Fingal lighthouse looks the same. A life size replica has recently been built on the hill behind the current Clarence River/Yamba lighthouse, on the original site. You can see it here
