Milnerton Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Milnerton, Cape Town, 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 Milnerton Lighthouse was commissioned on 10 March 1960 on the Table Bay shore at Milnerton, west of Cape Town. It was built as a navigation aid for shipping in Table Bay, and its red sector was set to cover Robben Island.

The lighthouse's red sector is aligned over Robben Island, so the light marks that island for ships in Table Bay. Its international codes are ARLHS SAF-017, NGA 113-25976 and Admiralty D 5910, used by mariners and lighthouse listings.

The lighthouse stands on Woodbridge Island in Table Bay, about 11 km from central Cape Town and reachable by car or public transport. The tower is not open for interior visits, so viewing is from outside. The site is exposed to coastal weather, so bring suitable footwear and clothing.

The tower rises 27 metres above the Atlantic Ocean, while the round white structure itself measures 21 metres. Its Admiralty number is D 5910, and it is listed under ARLHS code SAF-017.
