Tater Du Lighthouse is a distinctive white tower standing on a rugged headland near Penzance, guiding ships along the treacherous Cornish coast. Built in 1965, it is one of Cornwall's newer lighthouses but has become an iconic landmark. Visitors can walk along the coastal path to get close-up views of the lighthouse and the crashing waves below. The surrounding area is rich in wildflowers and seabirds, making it a perfect spot for photography and quiet contemplation of the Atlantic Ocean.
