Milnerton Lighthouse - Milnerton, Cape Town

The Milnerton Lighthouse is a notable landmark located in Milnerton, Cape Town, near the shores of Table Bay. Established in 1960, the lighthouse stands 21 meters tall and is an essential navigation aid for ships approaching the Port of Cape Town, guiding vessels around the often hazardous waters of Table Bay. Positioned near the Milnerton Golf Course, the lighthouse offers stunning views of Table Mountain, Robben Island, and the Atlantic Ocean, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

The lighthouse is operational, helping mariners avoid the Blaauwberg coastline’s dangerous reefs. Its flashing light, visible up to 25 nautical miles (approximately 46 km) out to sea, is crucial for maritime safety in this region. While the lighthouse itself is not open for public tours, visitors to the nearby beaches and Milnerton Lagoon often enjoy photographing it, especially at sunset, when the views are particularly spectacular.

Milnerton Lighthouse is also close to other attractions, such as the Woodbridge Island area, which offers cafes and restaurants with great views, making it a lovely destination for a day out by the sea. It combines historical significance with Cape Town's natural beauty, serving both a functional and aesthetic purpose.
