Point Lowly Lighthouse

Point Lowly Lighthouse, established in 1883, stands as the oldest building in the Whyalla area, offering a rich tapestry of maritime history and stunning coastal vistas. Its 22.8-meter sandstone tower, originally 15 meters tall, was extended in 1909 to enhance its visibility. The lighthouse, deactivated in 1993 and reactivated in 1995, is now managed by the City of Whyalla. The adjacent lighthouse keeper cottages, available for holiday accommodation, provide a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the site's heritage. Visitors can enjoy activities like fishing, snorkeling, and picnicking, all set against the backdrop of breathtaking sunsets and starry skies. The area is also a haven for photographers, offering unparalleled opportunities to capture the natural beauty and historical significance of this iconic landmark.
