Constructed in 1948, the Point Gibson lighthouse is a 3-meter tall, cylindrical metal structure. It is painted with a white band above a red band. From a focal height of 76 meters, its light produces a single white flash every 10 seconds (Fl W 10s), with a geographic range of 22.2 nautical miles. The location is accessible to visitors, but the tower itself is not open for entry. This navigational aid is managed by Maritime New Zealand.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the eastern coastline near Domett, serving as a reference point for ships navigating the area.
