United Kingdom Dovercourt Lighthouses

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
In Dovercourt, there are a pair of restored lighthouses, one on the beach and the other a little way out to sea. They're unique and were restored in 1985-8 by grants and public support. The 'Low Lighthouse' on Dovercourt's shore was built in 1863 as one of a pair after the two Lighthouses at Harwich.

Photography Tips

Sunrise. With the gravel "beach", the breakers, and the variations in tides this is a good location for long exposure shots with the sea or a moody feel when the tide is out. Good elements on hand to create structure and leading lines.v

Travel Information

There are good road links to Harwich, the A12 runs north from London and Dovercourt is a little south. Alongside the beach, there's a road with plenty of free parking early in the morning or later in the day. Step out of your car, across onto the promenade then take a few steps down onto the shingle beach. The first lighthouse is a few meters from the promenade, you can't miss it.
