Mokohinau Islands Lighthouse, Lighthouse on Burgess Island in Mokohinau Islands, New Zealand.
The lighthouse features a 14-meter cylindrical stone tower with a black balcony, lantern, and white exterior walls visible from great distances.
Constructed in 1883, the lighthouse remained inactive during World War II due to concerns about German destroyers laying mines in the surrounding waters.
The Mokohinau Islands hold importance for the Ngati Wai tribe, who maintain their traditional seasonal muttonbird gathering practices in the area.
The lighthouse operates on solar power and emits white light flashes every 10 seconds, visible for 19 nautical miles across the Hauraki Gulf.
Located 50 kilometers northeast of Cape Rodney, this lighthouse stands at 122 meters above sea level, making it among the most remote in New Zealand.
