Point Charles Light, Maritime lighthouse in Northern Territory, Australia

Point Charles Light is a 28-metre tower of wrought iron, built around a central tube almost 2 metres in diameter with struts and braces. A spiral staircase inside the tube leads to the lantern room above the gallery. It stands on a headland at the northern end of the Cox Peninsula, 21 kilometres northwest of Port Darwin.

Shipwrecks near Port Darwin in the 1880s led the Marine Board to recommend a light at Point Charles in 1888. Chance Bros of Birmingham built the tower, shipped in crates to Adelaide in 1891 and assembled on site from 1892. Rusty parts delayed work, and Charles James Dashwood, Government Resident, opened it on 1 February 1893.

The lighthouse stands on the Cox Peninsula, where the Kenbi land claim was settled in 2000, recognising the Larrakia people's traditional ownership of the peninsula. The site is reached through agreements with the indigenous land holders, so visitors cross country that remains Aboriginal land.

Road access to the lighthouse is possible through agreements with the Indigenous land holders, after the Christian Voice Broadcasting Service lease expired in June 2010 and its fence no longer blocked the site. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority reaches the light by helicopter. The tower stands on a headland at the northern tip of the Cox Peninsula, 21 km northwest of Port Darwin.

The structure withstood Cyclone Tracy in 1974 and remained operational while nearby radio transmission masts were severely damaged. Its durability meant it could be recommissioned as a vital navigation aid after the disaster.
