===To the island===
There are two ways to get to Lundy, depending on the time of year. In the summer months (April to October) visitors are carried on the [[Landmark Trust]]'s own vessel, [[MS Oldenburg|MS ''Oldenburg'']], which sails from both [[Bideford]] and [[Ilfracombe]]. Sailings are usually three days a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with additional sailings on Wednesdays during July and August. The voyage takes on average two hours, depending on ports, tides and weather. The ''Oldenburg'' was first registered in [[Bremen]], Germany, in 1958 and has been sailing to Lundy since being bought by the Lundy Company Ltd in 1985.<ref name="msoldenburg">{{cite web |title=MS ''Oldenburg'' |work=CaptainsVoyage |url= http://captainsvoyage.7.forumer.com/a/ms-oldenburg_post2232.html |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090615043933/http://captainsvoyage.7.forumer.com/a/ms-oldenburg_post2232.html |archive-date=15 June 2009}}</ref>

In the winter months (November to March) the island is served by a scheduled [[helicopter]] service from [[Hartland Point]]. The helicopter operates on Mondays and Fridays.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Visiting Lundy |website=LundyBirdObs.org.uk |publisher=Lundy Bird Observatory |url= https://lundybirdobs.org.uk/index.php/visiting-lundy |access-date=1 February 2024}}</ref>

===On the island===
In 2007, Derek Green, Lundy's general manager, launched an appeal to raise £250,000 to save the {{convert|1|mi|km|adj=mid|-long|round=0.5|abbr=off}} Beach Road, which had been damaged by heavy rain and high seas. The road was built in the first half of the 19th century to provide people and goods with safe access to the top of the island, {{convert|120|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} above the only jetty.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Morris |first=Steven |title=£250,000 plea to save remote island's lifeline |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=5 September 2007 |location=London |url= https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2007/sep/05/3 |access-date=5 September 2007}}</ref> The fund-raising was completed on 10 March 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/news/index.htm#Lundyappealcomplete |title=Lundy road appeal completed |publisher=Landmark Trust |access-date=17 March 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080706095430/http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/news/index.htm#Lundyappealcomplete |archive-date=6 July 2008}}</ref>
