FINGAL BAY

GENERAL INFORMATION

One of only 2 patrolled surf beaches in this area and closest to Nelson and Shoal Bay. This picturesque village is surrounded by the Tomaree National Park. A magnificent beach with an infamous walk across "the spit" to view the burnt out ruins of the outer lighthouse residence.

Explore Fingal Head and enjoy the views. There is some great fishing off the beach as well as the Headlands. Many a large jewfish has been landed off the spit. We have a good range of units and houses to offer here.

This beach is very popular with surfers, is quite protected by the headland in the southern corner and open to the ocean swell further up the beach.



A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY

The Fingal Head Lighthouse was erected in 1872 of stone, and painted white, the tower had a fixed white light of 1,000 candelas.
Even though the light tower is not high and it is built on a low headland the light is effective as it is built on one of the most easterly points of Australia with plenty of deep water offshore.
The original kerosene wick burner was converted to automatic acetylene operation in 1920 with an output of 1,500 candelas and altered to group flashing. The one keeper was withdrawn at this time.
There is no record of the opening of this light considered so insignificant that apparently the first keeper did not think the matter of sufficient importance to take a record of the official opening.
