The north headland, under the light.
Windlass Head is the north arm of the bay. Its tip is open cliff land with a white lighthouse, Windlass Light. The lamp still turns every night.
The headland is named for the windlass, the winch that raises a ship's anchor. An old iron one still stands beside the lighthouse.
Homes here sit on large lots, well apart from each other. Some face the open sea. Others look back across the bay toward the harbor.
Most of the city's modern houses are here. The best known is Headland House, a glass pavilion designed by Halyard Studio. Older one-level houses from the 1950s, with white walls and tile roofs, stand on the sheltered side. Many sit on close to an acre.
Windlass Head Road runs along the spine of the headland to the lighthouse. Stormglass Lane drops toward the south cliffs. Farwater Road follows the west cliffs, above the open sea.
Windlass Head Preserve wraps the tip of the headland. A loop trail passes the lighthouse and the cliff edge. To the south, Hawser Marsh has level paths along the creek.
