Tacking Point Lighthouse sits on a rugged headland with dramatic rocky foregrounds and sweeping Pacific vistas — ideal for coastal compositions, lighthouse portraits, and whale-watch telephoto shots (May–Nov). Best at sunrise/golden hour for warm side light; sunsets give strong silhouettes. Short coastal walk from a small carpark; grounds open but tower access is usually restricted. Weekday dawn visits avoid crowds and wind. Bring weatherproof gear for spray.
