Bring some binoculars with you if you can! But don’t worry the lighthouse leave binoculars and spotting scopes out for use.. Theses are chained up for security reasons but you can still use them.

My mother when she was alive absolutely loved St Marys Lighthouse . We used to laugh when she said it was named after her. A very special place in our families hearts.

Simon Wilson

Lovely place to visit. Just check the tide times first if you want to head over the island the lighthouse is on

Andrew Lamb

A good place for exploring rock pools and for wildlife watching (sea birds and seals ). Don't forget to check the nature reserve behind the car park .

Richard Curtis

Absolutely loads of seals out on the rocks. Magical place
