Description
The lighthouse was built to aid the early explorers on their passage of the rough seas off Cape Agulhas. Seventy-one steps lead up to the top of the second oldest working lighthouse in southern Africa. Stone mined from the adjacent limestone quarry provided the raw materials for its construction.
The building also houses a unique lighthouse museum.
Remains of ancient stone fish traps used by the Khoisan people can be seen to the east of the lighthouse.
