The original lighthouse was painted white. In 1902 three black bands were added. Its current markings of black with two yellow bands have been in place since 1954. The color of the light was changed from white to red on 1st July 1860. The tower was originally only 14m tall. It was extended to its current dizzying height of 40m in the 1880's and is now the tallest onshore lighthouse on the Irish coast. The lighthouse was automated in 1981. St John’s Point is the perfect place for a quick visit or a proper refreshing time out. It is easily accessible by car. #Ireland #travel #adventure #hiking #lighthouse ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182715/6a140fdf-11db-40d3-9a26-892d5b3bd9a9.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Strangford and Lecale 1 min walk \- 0.0 miles - ![Black and White Night Time Photo on Belfast Waterfront, Northern Ireland](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6083489/5897ee0d-b448-4fb8-9e7b-52b0987aed94.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) SSE Arena 38 min drive \- 27.7 miles - ![Titanic Belfast showing signage and modern architecture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6169550/36834770-e253-4281-bdf6-288f3c608a0b.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Titanic Belfast 39 min drive \- 27.9 miles - ![Belfast City Hall showing a castle, heritage elements and heritage architecture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6083439/87e329ce-ea3c-4823-8220-ff88300fe17a.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Belfast City Hall 39 min drive \- 28.5 miles - ![Queen\'s University of Belfast](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6083501/d8dff6f7-86af-4e17-9656-d90bdf4b7bf5.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Queen's University of Belfast 40 min drive \- 28.5 miles ### Getting around - Bangor Station 23 min drive - Belfast (BHD-George Best Belfast City) 46 min drive ### Restaurants - Coan 2 min drive - The New Quays 8 min drive - The Wildfowler Inn 6 min drive - The Golden Dinner, Kircubbin 19 min walk - Saltwater Brig 2 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Set on an elevated private site with commanding views over Strangford Lough. pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Set on an elevated private site with commanding views over Strangford Lough.? ### What time is check-in at Set on an elevated private site with commanding views over Strangford Lough.? ### What time is check-out at Set on an elevated private site with commanding views over Strangford Lough.? ### Where is Set on an elevated private site with commanding views over Strangford Lough. located? ## Have a question?
