Point Perpendicular Light, Historical lighthouse at Beecroft Peninsula, Australia
The Point Perpendicular Light stands 39 meters tall with a white tower and red lantern room at the entrance of Jervis Bay.
The lighthouse began operations in 1899, constructed with precast concrete blocks to replace the inadequately positioned Cape St George Lighthouse from 1860.
The structure represents a significant maritime navigation point, marking the northern entrance to Jervis Bay for vessels traveling along New South Wales coast.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds during weekends, Friday afternoons, and New South Wales school holidays through Lighthouse Road in Currarong.
The lighthouse was upgraded multiple times, increasing its light intensity from 100,000 to 316,000 candela before being replaced by a skeletal tower in 1993.
