"Since 1751 there has been a lighthouse on Lizard Point, warning shipping of the dangers of this beautiful but treacherous coastline. Just offshore are the Man o' War rocks. Below the point is the Old Lifeboat House. The present lifeboat station is a few miles east of the headland. On the 10th November 1721, thirty years before the lighthouse was built, 15 of the crew of the Royal Anne Galley lost their lives when the vessel was dashed against the cliffs in a storm. They are buried in a mass grave on Pistol Meadow, the grass slope just west of the Old Lifeboat Slipway. Walkers in this area may be lucky enough to see the Cornish Chough, now breeding in the area."
Dari Lizard Point kami berjalan kaki menuju ke Lizard Lighthouse yang terletak berhampiran dengan Lizard Point. Malangnya disebabkan Zalifah masih terlalu kecil dan tidak melepasi ketinggian yang ditetapkan kami tidak di benarkan meneroka kawasan di dalam lighthouse tersebut. Hanya berjalan-jalan di sekitar kawasan dan merakamkan beberapa keping gambar kenang-kenangan, kami menuju ke kereta untuk ke destinasi seterusnya St. Michael Mount.
