Kalk Bay Lighthouse

The Kalk Bay lighthouse at the harbour has a rich history. Its red-and-white-striped building is situated at the tip of the pier. Construction on the harbour began in 1913. The beach attached to the harbour was known as Fishery Beach. The  5 metre round tapered stone tower was installed on the Kalk Bay South Breakwater in 1919.

The lighthouse’s main function is to guide commercial fishing boats back to the harbour after dark.

. The focal plane is 7m which gives one long red flash every 15 seconds. Unfortunately, the lighthouse is currently in a state of disrepair.
