Milnerton Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Milnerton, South Africa
Milnerton Lighthouse is a white concrete tower standing on Woodbridge Island with a red lantern room at its top. The structure guides ships through Table Bay waters and helps them navigate safely past the shallow coastal areas.
The lighthouse started operating in 1960 to protect ships from the dangerous waters of Table Bay. It was built as part of a navigation system to improve safety on South African shipping routes.
The structure represents maritime engineering advancements in South Africa, contributing to the development of coastal safety infrastructure in the region.
The tower sits on an island that can be reached from the mainland and offers views of the coastline and sea. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear and be prepared for changing weather conditions typical of this exposed coastal location.
The red sector light specifically covers Robben Island, working in conjunction with another lighthouse located 10 miles away for enhanced navigation.
