Dear Tourist
Warning!
I stand guard protecting you
as I have done since they lost that steamer the 'Rothsay Castle'.
Take care here,
many have faltered - 133 died that night!
These waters are dangerous.
'Puffin Island' sits in treacherous waters
don't pass between me and the Anglesey shore,
for there are rocks waiting to take you.
The currents here make it a great place to fish
and are excellent for lovers of wildlife,
but beware,
the waters here are violent and fast flowing,
swimming isn’t recommended.
Enjoy the rugged natural beauty of this place,
but only from a safe distance.
Heed the warning my light conveys!
Yours since 1838.
The Penmon lighthouse.
