YSTERVARKPUNT – Stilbaai
This lighthouse is situated near the mouth of the Gouritz River between Mossel Bay and Cape Agulhas. Originally a 21 metre aluminium tower, now a concrete structure of the same height and painted in striking candy stripes of red and white. This lighthouse is not open to the public but visible from the road within the Reins Nature Reserve. The tower supports a fully automatic electric light system with a range of 24 nautical miles. At the time of this photograph the aluminium tower was still there, though the light apparatus had been transferred to the new tower.
