Katiki Point Lighthouse, Wooden lighthouse in Otago Region, New Zealand.
The white hexagonal tower with red trim stands 8.5 meters tall on the southern coast of New Zealand between Moeraki and Katiki settlements.
Built in 1878 to protect ships from dangerous reefs, the lighthouse sustained damage from a severe storm before its inaugural lighting on April 22.
The location holds significance in Maori history, connected to the ancestral waka atua vessel and the formation of the Moeraki Boulders.
The lighthouse emits white light in 6-second intervals, visible up to 10 nautical miles, operating on mains electricity with battery backup systems.
Maritime New Zealand conducted structural renovations in 2006, transforming the manually operated lighthouse into a fully automated navigation system.
