Gordan's Bay Harbour East Breakwater Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Gordan's Bay Harbour East Breakwater Lighthouse
This square concrete tower stands 4 meters tall and emits a red light with one flash every 2 seconds. Its focal plane is 5 meters above the water, providing a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles. The structure is painted white with a single red horizontal band. Located at the end of the east breakwater, it marks the entrance to Gordon's Bay, a recreational harbor in the northeastern part of False Bay. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This light is essential for the safe entry and exit of recreational vessels into Gordon's Bay harbor, clearly defining the breakwater's eastern edge and preventing collisions with the submerged structure.
