Cape Brett Lighthouse, Maritime navigation aid in Bay of Islands, New Zealand.
The white lighthouse tower rises 11 meters above the cliffs of Cape Brett, providing essential guidance to vessels in the Bay of Islands.
The Cape Brett Lighthouse commenced operations in 1910, constructed for £11,237 to enhance maritime safety in the challenging waters of northern New Zealand.
The headland, known as Rakaumangamanga to Māori people, guided early Polynesian navigators to safe landfall through light reflecting off the cliffs.
Visitors access the lighthouse through an 8-hour walking trail from Paihia or by taking a 35-minute water taxi across the Bay of Islands.
The structure contains the last complete giant clockwork mechanism remaining at any lighthouse site in New Zealand.
