The annual walk around the lighthouse is organised by Eastbourne Rotary AM, Save the Stripes and the Eastbourne Herald.

Now in its fifth year, the walk is a rare opportunity when a low spring tide occurs at the right time, and during daylight hours to enable people to walk around the lighthouse.

It was originally started to raise funds for the re-painting necessary, and now it provides funds to build up to the time when it again needs to be re-painted plus supporting local charities organised by the Rotary Club of Eastbourne AM in conjunction with the Save the Stripes campaign and supported by the Eastbourne Herald.
