Le phare Gibbs Hill, d'une hauteur de 117 pieds, est l'un des plus anciens phares en fonte du monde. Il a été construit en 1846.
Du haut de son sommet, un balcon nous permet d'avoir une superbe vue à 360 degrés sur les Bermudes ainsi que son littoral. Cependant, il faut gravir 185 marches pour y accéder.
Il y a huit étages sur lesquels on retrouve de petites expositions décrivant l'histoire des Bermudes et comment le phare a été construit.
Trop de navires se fracassaient sur les récifs cachés autour des îles des Bermudes. C'est pourquoi ce phare a été érigé afin d'aider les navires à naviguer dans ces eaux.
Il y a un restaurant et une petite boutique de souvenirs. C'est dans cette boutique que l'on se procure le billet d'entrée pour l'accès au phare.
C'est également l'endroit idéal pour observer le soleil se coucher tout doucement dans l'océan.

Bermuda Cruise Port Guide: Sea Glass Beach, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Church Bay
In this video, we’ll provide an overview of our second day in Bermuda, when we visited Sea Glass Beach, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Church Bay.
Our ship -- the Celebrity Summit -- docked at the Royal Naval Dockyard port for three days in August of 2019. During our stay, we used Bermuda’s bus and ferry system to explore on our own.

Video Of Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Tallest Lighthouse On The Island Of Bermuda
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse is the tallest and oldest lighthouse on Bermuda, a small island in the Atlantic around 600 miles off the coast of North America.
It was built in 1844 and is one of the worlds few remaining lighthouses constructed using cast iron.
Climb the 185 steps to get great views of Riddells Bay Golf Club, the Fairmont Southampton hotel, and Royal Naval Dockyard (Kings Wharf).
Facilities at Gibbs Hill Lighthouse include a gift shop, restaurant, and ample car parking.
Near the entrance to the lighthouse is a lookout known as Queens View. In 1853 Queen Elizabeth II paused here to admire the view.

Cross Bay, Bermuda - Gibb's Hill Lighthouse (2003)
Built in 1844 by the Royal Engineers, the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse is the taller of two lighthouses on Bermuda, and one of the first lighthouses in the world to be made of cast-iron. This is because at that time, steel still was not able to be bent. The optic consists of a Fresnel lens from 1904 revolving on steel bearings. However for most of its history, the lens revolved on a bed of 1,200 pounds of mercury. While it is certainly not extremely tall in lighthouse standards, the hill that it stands on is one of the highest on the island. The light's focal plane on Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, therefore, is at 354 feet (108 m) above sea level. Airplanes can see its flashes from over 100 miles (160 km) away. The lighthouse has 185 steps to the top in eight flights. Until 1964, most of the light was run by hand, but in June of that year, the whole system was automated and runs on electricity. Sixty-thousand people ascended the lighthouse in 1985, and it continues to be a popular tourist attraction.
A radar antenna for marine shipping was installed atop the lighthouse in 1987 supported on a steel space frame fixed at the original bolt locations. The radar and supporting frame were undamaged in September 2003 despite the oscillation of the tower during Hurricane Fabian. This movement caused two gallons of mercury to slop out of the lens support trough and put the light out of operation. The 1904 lens was repaired in 2004 with steel bearings to replace the mercury.

At the base of the tower is the Lighthouse Tea Room, a restaurant converted from the lighthouse keeper's former living quarters, where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily.
