Visited South Stack lighthouse on Saturday during the Easter Weekend. The first thing to note is that access is difficult and can be dangerous - so take great care. Approximately 400 steps down (and …Full review by Q7177GWthomas

An amazing opportunity to learn about the history and operation of the lighthouse and to get a small insight into the lives of the lighthouse keepers. The views alone justify the walk down, and of co…Full review by Frank B

I would go and take some photos from the top but don't risk the steps. I'm sure you'll find some other grat places to take photos from around the coast ot Anglesey and they may be less predictable than ones from South Stack.

Is 2 hours long enough for a visit to the Lighthouse. We need to be in Beaumaris for 12:30pm. I’m thinking if we get there for 9:30am and leave at 11:30am we will have enough time to take a look round but I’m not sure?
A:
Hi - yes that should be fine (2 hours)

No. The road up to the Lighthouse is single track. There are three parking areas. The first is quite small and was full when we arrived. The second is next to the cafe and was also full of cars, except for a few disabled bay spaces. The final area is at top overlooking the lighthouse, there was a camper van parked there but it was half the size of yours and to be honest this car park was pretty full when we came back. You could also have problems with turning around. All car parks have charges.
