Umhlanga Lighthouse

The Umhlanga Lighthouse in South Africa is a beautiful sight to behold. This towering edifice, located amidst the golden sands of the Umhlanga Beach, is a great place to take in stunning views of the beach and Indian Ocean. Built in 1952, the beacon serves to protect sailing vessels against shallow rocks, with its light reaching a distance of 15 miles. The exterior of the white-painted lighthouse features traditional black and red bands that give it a classic Cape Town aesthetic.

Surrounding the lighthouse is a pleasant picnic area which provides wonderful views of the ocean, and plenty of green space for relaxation. This is a great spot to observe sunrise and evening sunset. With panoramic vistas, tranquil beaches, and the lighthouse itself, Umhlanga Lighthouse is an ideal destination for photographers looking for something different.
