CAPE HANGKLIP - False Bay

CAPE HANGCLIP – False Bay

This lighthouse is situated at the entrance to False Bay about 1 km from the base of Hangklip Berg, which derives its name from its hanging shape. It consists of a 23 metre concrete tower painted white with a black band near the top. This was the first fully automatic electrically operated lighthouse with its own automatic diesel-generating plant. The light has a range of 25 nautical miles. The lighthouse is not open to the public, but can be reached by a footpath from the beach nearby, where boats are launched.
