- Baltimore Beacon - The Baltimore Beacon is a white-painted stone structure located at the entrance to Baltimore harbor in County Cork, Ireland. Commissioned by the British government after the 1798 Rebellion, it was part of a network of lighthouses and beacons along the Irish coast, serving as a warning system. Locals humorously refer to it as Lot’s Wife, a nod to the biblical figure turned into a pillar of salt.

The island is an 8-mile ferry ride from the mainland and is the closest inhabited area to the renowned Fastnet Rock Lighthouse.
