About Fishing Point Lighthouse
Fishing Point is a cylindrical stone tower, 10 meters in height and finished in white paint. Located on the south side of the Clifden Bay entrance in County Galway, its light originates from a focal plane 20 meters above sea level. The structure, a round stone tower, displays white paint. Access to the site is permitted, but entry into the tower is restricted. Rossaveel, the closest port, lies 31.3 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: This marker offers distinct visual reference for craft navigating Clifden Bay, especially because of its position on a projecting point of land.
