Details

Fingal was named by early explorers for its likeness with an outcrop of the same name in Northern Ireland, the UNESCO Giants Causeway World Heritage Site. The Tweeds very own Giants Causeway at Fingal Head is a must-see and was formed by hot lava flows which formed massive rock pillars as they reached the cool sea.

In tranquil Fingal, youll also find fun surf breaks, laid-back fishing spots, chilled eateries and an abundance of beach view places to stay.

Home to Fingal Head Lighthouse which was erected in 1872 of stone and painted white, the tower had a fixed white light of 1,000 candelas. Although the light tower is not high it is built on the 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.
