The Baltimore Beacon is a white-painted stone beacon at the entrance to the harbour at Baltimore, County Cork, Ireland. The beacon was built at the order of the British government following the 1798 Rebellion. It was part of a series of lighthouses and beacons dotted around the Irish coast, forming a warning system. The beacon is locally known as "Lot's Wife", after the Biblical woman turned into a pillar of salt. Leave the car in the village and walk. There since before the famine it's a great for a short walk where you will meet others and watch life on the sea go by. From island ferries and fisherman to sail races and sail schools in the harbour. On the way back stop in the square for sundowners or a meal.

Great place to go for a walk and see the amazing local scenery. Be careful as there are some cliffs. Drive thorough baltimore village and follow the signs to the beacon.

A whitewashed tower guarding the entrance of the harbour is Baltimore's major landmark. Stunning views, well worth the short walk from the village.
