Attraction

Gibbs Hill Lighthouse

Lighthouse Road (between South Shore and Middle rds.), Southampton

This Bermuda landmark rises on the island’s tallest point, a 245-foot-high hill. An easy walk from the Fairmont Southampton Hotel, the 117-foot-tall structure, built in 1846, claims fame as the world’s oldest cast iron lighthouse. Climb the 185 stairs to the top for $2.50 and be rewarded with a panoramic view of the island and its surrounding sea. The balcony sits 385 feet above sea level. Hungry after your ascent? Grab a bite at the Lighthouse Tea Room, or a meal at The Dining Room, both located at the base of the lighthouse.
