Stroove Lighthouse

It seems I took too much time exploring the first half of the Inishowen 100 and that the driving route was much longer than I anticipated. There are multiple stops along the way and visitors will not run out of places to see. However, it was getting late in the day and I think I need to wrap it up. From Culdaff beach I just continued on the driving route and eventually hitting the eastern coast of the Inishowen peninsula. There are a few large towns here on the eastern shore such as Moville and Greencastle. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to visit them anymore. I did, however, stop by the village of Stroove.

Closer Look at the Stroove Lighthouse

The village probably has two main attractions. First is the light house which stands atop some headland. It occupies a prominent location since this area marks a corner of the Iniswhoen peninsula. I wouldn’t be nice if ships ran aground because it was a sharp turn. The Stroove lighthouse appeared to be an interesting place but somehow I couldn’t figure out how to get in. There was a gate which didn’t seem to be open. I wasn’t sure if this is the case all the time or I was just unlucky to come here when it is closed. I could only admire it from the outside and from further away. There is a beach on the opposite side of the lighthouse where visitors can get a better view of the lighthouse as well, make sure not to miss it.
