There has been a lighthouse here at Bull Point since 1879. The current structure was built in 1975 after the original building succumbed to subsidence. The light can be seen for 44km and is still a very important warning to seafarers of the dangerous rocky coastline.

Aside from the lighthouse, you can enjoy spectacular views of Rockham Bay towards Morte Point to the south west and to the east towards Shag Point.

There isn't a cafe here, but it's a nice viewpoint to stop if you want to. Sadlt there is no access to the lighthouse from the coast path.
