With an easy climb of 59 stairs, this lighthouse is accessible even for small children. Built from limestone quarried from nearby Bunker Bay, and perched on the top of the limestone ridge, at its highest point the lighthouse is 123 metres above sea level. Stepping out onto the balcony, incredible views of the Indian Ocean, Cape Naturaliste, Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park and the Geographe Bay coastline await. The lighthouse and cottages also reveal the fascinating maritime history of the Cape region. Hear tales of ships wrecked off the formidable coastline and the hardships of life as a lighthouse keeper, and gain insight into the functions of this working lighthouse. Discover more about native flora and fauna and the importance of the local ocean currents also used by humpback whales during their migration and breeding season. The observation platform at the base of the lighthouse tower enables universal access to sweeping ocean views and great photo opportunities, while the landscaped lawns will entice you to sit and enjoy this wonderful heritage precinct. The tour takes 30 minutes, but allow extra time to explore the grounds.
