About Port Melbourne Channel Lighthouse
Also known as: Port Melbourne Channel (Port Melbourne Range Rear)
A slender concrete tower, built in 1924, stands 26 meters tall, with its light positioned 24 meters above sea level. It is painted white and features a red cap at the top. This operational lighthouse emits a white flash every 5 seconds. The tower is situated about 600 meters inland from Beach Street, east of Princes Pier, at the northern end of Beacon Vista in Beacon Cove. The nearest port, Melbourne, is 2.5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for navigating the Port Melbourne Channel, a primary entry point for ships into one of Australia's busiest ports. Its location within the redeveloped Beacon Cove area also marks it as a landmark in a modern urban waterfront.
