Shark Island Light, Lighthouse on Shark Island, Sydney Harbour, Australia
The cylindrical white tower with a balcony and lantern stands 12 meters tall on the northern section of Shark Island in Sydney Harbour.
Built in 1913, this maritime navigation structure guides vessels between Shark Point and Point Piper through the Sydney Harbour fairway.
The waters surrounding the lighthouse were traditional fishing grounds of the Darug people before European settlement in the Sydney region.
Access to the lighthouse requires boat transportation, and visitors need advance reservations to enter Shark Island due to capacity limitations.
The light flashes three times in red every eight seconds and maintains visibility for 11 kilometers across Sydney Harbour's shipping channels.
