Getting There

Head southeast on the main road toward Salina Point Settlement. Continue driving until you reach the junction that leads to Salina Point. Follow the signs to Salina Point, and once you arrive in the settlement, look for the coordinates 4MGC+GM on your GPS or map application. The Castle Island Lighthouse is located near these coordinates, and you may find local signs directing you to the lighthouse from the main road.

• Public Transportation

  For those opting for public transportation, look for local minibuses or shared taxis that service the area of Salina Point. Ask the driver to drop you off at Salina Point Settlement. Once you arrive, you may need to ask locals for directions to Castle Island Lighthouse, as the lighthouse may not be directly accessible by public transport. It’s advisable to negotiate with a local taxi driver for a ride to the lighthouse, as it is located a short distance from the main settlement. Ensure to clarify the fare beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.

• Walking

  If you are already in Salina Point Settlement, you can walk to the Castle Island Lighthouse. From the center of the settlement, head towards the coast and follow the shoreline. The lighthouse is situated on a small island just off the coast, so you may need to arrange a small boat ride with a local fisherman or tour guide to reach the lighthouse itself. Make sure to ask locals for recommendations on who to contact for a boat ride.
