Compass Point is an octagonal storm tower situated high on the cliffs with breathtaking views out to sea. Also known as the ‘Tower of the Winds’, the tower was originally built in the 1830s and was rebuilt in the 1880s to look like the Temple of the Winds, in Athens, Greece.

The tower has gotten so close to the cliffs at this point and is now "at risk of falling". It is scheduled to be moved backwards from mid-2023.
