Point Stephens Light, Maritime lighthouse in Fingal Bay, Australia
The white tower rises 21 meters above the coastline, featuring a flared base and first-floor entrance design that stands against the ocean backdrop.
Construction of Point Stephens Light began in 1862 using sandstone blocks transported by ship from Sydney to enhance maritime safety in New South Wales.
The lighthouse and its structures earned recognition on the New South Wales State Heritage Register in 1999 for their architectural and historical importance.
Access to the lighthouse requires either a boat tour or careful timing with low tide to cross the narrow sand spit connecting Fingal Island.
The lighthouse contains the only example in Australia of a terrace-style keeper's quarters, built in Victorian Gothic architecture with three connected cottages.
