The South Head Lighthouse
The South Head lighthouse began as a twenty-three metre aluminium lattice tower, upon which rested a Stone-Chance lantern with a lamp that exhibited four white flashes every thirty seconds. The current lighthouse is at the entrance to Saldanha Bay at a place called Donkergat. It was built in 1969 and it stands at 21 meters. The property belongs to the SA National Defence Force. It is a round cylindrical concrete tower with a lantern and gallery. The upper half of the lighthouse is painted yellow-brown and the lower half is white. The light flashes 4 times every 30 seconds and can be seen for 24 nautical miles. The lighthouse is controlled by the National Defence Force and stands behind locked gates and is unfortunately not open to the public.
