Cockburn Town Lighthouse

Built in the 1850s, the Cockburn Town Lighthouse, also known as the Grand Turk Lighthouse, stands as a significant historical landmark on Grand Turk. Located at the northern end of the island, it was originally constructed to guide ships safely through the perilous shallow reefs. Today, though no longer operational, the lighthouse remains a key attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into the maritime history of the Turks and Caicos. Its sturdy structure and coastal setting provide a picturesque backdrop for those exploring the island’s past.
