About Auckland Harbour Lighthouses Lighthouse
A cylindrical concrete tower stands 20 meters tall, painted white with narrow red horizontal bands. This structure, built in the 1880s, first became operational in 1905 after a period of bureaucratic delays. Its focal height is 21 meters, and it emits a red light with a characteristic of one flash every 12 seconds. The lighthouse is situated on a small islet just off the western end of Rangitoto Island, within Auckland Harbour. It is managed by the Port of Auckland and remains an active aid to navigation.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks a key point for vessels entering Auckland Harbour, guiding them around the western end of Rangitoto Island.
