Seal Point Lighthouse in Cape St Francis, Eastern Cape (original) (raw)
About Seal Point Lighthouse
Located in the charming holiday village of Cape St Francis on the Sunshine Coast, the Cape St Francis Lighthouse was commissioned on 4 July 1878. The 28-metre circular masonry tower supports a lantern house and 2nd order revolving lantern consisting of 8 catadioptric lens panels. The lighthouse was declared a National Monument in 1984.
The lighthouse is located within the eastern sector of the Cape floristic region, a floral kingdom internationally recognised for its spectacular diversity. The vegetation supports a diversity of bird, rodent and other small animal population. It is for this reason that efforts are being made to have the area declared a Private Nature Reserve.
