The lighthouse is open for tours by appointment only. Bookings should be made AT LEAST 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE. To make an appointment please email info@covesealighthouse.co.uk and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Arriving by road, turn off the B9040 towards The Silver Sands Holiday Park. Before entering the park take a sharp left, turn up the single track road towards the lighthouse (driving past the caravan park maintenance workshop, on your left). Parking is available at the lower level, by the Heritage Centre. You then have a short walk (5 to 10 minutes depending on fitness) up to the Lighthouse itself. Visitors to the Lighthouse Tower, with mobility issue, should mention this when making bookings to gain vehicular access to the upper level.

Owing to the nature of the lighthouse it is only suitable for people who are physically fit. To get to the top of the lighthouse you will be walking up 144 steps and two, fixed, ladders. We have a wheelchair ramp for access to the quarterdecks where the history talk is given prior to going up the tower and a CCTV feed, from the top of the Tower, is available to view.
