Wild Atlantic Way Signature Discovery Point, Mizen Head Signal Station, at ’s most Southwesterly point, in West , is a dramatic place to visit. The Visitor Centre with Café, Gift Shop and Toilets is up at the car park. Mizen Café serves, among other items on a full menu, fresh fish and chips, delicious freshly made sandwiches, seafood chowder, tea, freshly ground coffee, homemade cakes and scones. The Gift Shop has books, cards, toys, souvenirs and Fuchsia brand craft gifts. There are some displays in that building too. But then the outdoor experience starts! The path to the Signal Station goes down the cliffs to the Bridge and out to the point and the former Keepers’ Quarters with its interpretive displays. Along the way there are several paths up to wonderful views north, up the coast to the Sheep’s Head and Beara Peninsulas and south, down to the sea arch. There is plenty to do and see. This is a world renowned whale and dolphin watch location and often there are seals under the bridge. The Bridge was closed for demolition and reconstruction for 18 months and reopened in March 2011. In November 2011 Mizen Head Bridge won the 2011 Engineering Project of the Year in the Engineers Ireland Excellence Awards and a Commendation in the category for Heritage Award for Building or Infrastructure Projects for the Institution of Structural Engineers. Since then the popularity of Mizen Head Signal Station has soared; it is a must - experience destination. Tripadvisor Ireland Traveller’s Choice Top 10 Attractions and Certificate of Excellence 2014.
