Longstone Lighthouse Reef

About this site

The reef around Longstone Lighthouse — scene of Grace Darling's famous 1838 rescue — offers excellent shallow diving across kelp-covered boulders rich with large edible crabs, lobsters, sea urchins, and colourful anemones. The historic lighthouse provides a beautiful backdrop above water, and seals frequently join divers exploring the rocky outcrops.
