English: Little Samphire Island Lighthouse Little Samphire Lighthouse is a harbour light to guide vessels into Tralee Bay. The name Samphire comes from "Herb San Pierre" or "St Peter's Herb". Building of the lighthouse started in 1849 and the first light was established in 1854. A single dwelling housed the principal keeper, and his wife acted as assistant keeper. The station was converted to automatic gas in 1954 and was manned until the start of 1956. The present electrical system was installed in 1976. The mountains of the Central Dingle Peninsula (Cummeen, Dromavally Mountain) are visible across Tralee Bay.
