Pelican Point Lighthouse, Maritime beacon on Pelican Point peninsula near Walvis Bay, Namibia.
The 34-meter round tower structure features a cast iron construction with black and white horizontal bands and includes a lantern and gallery at its summit.
The South African government established this navigational aid in 1932 to protect ships entering the waters surrounding the Walvis Bay harbor.
The lighthouse marks the entrance to Walvis Bay, where visitors observe Cape fur seals, dolphins, and various marine birds in their natural environment.
The structure continues to function as an active navigational beacon, guiding vessels through the Atlantic waters near the Skeleton Coast of Namibia.
The adjacent building transformed into Pelican Point Lodge offers accommodation in former harbor control quarters, surrounded by ocean on three sides.
