It provides the first beacon along the northern coast for east-bound ships. It is followed by lighthouses, fog horns and other markers at North Stack, Holyhead breakwater, The Skerries, the Mice and at the north-east tip of the island Trwyn The sleeve for the Roxy Music album 'Siren' featuring Jerry Hall was shot on the rocks below South Stack during the summer of 1975.
