A white tower with a lantern, Slope Point Lighthouse was established in 2020. It stands 33 meters above sea level at the southernmost tip of New Zealand's South Island. The light emits a single white flash every 5 seconds, visible for approximately 15.9 nautical miles. This structure is located near Waihopai Toetoe Community in the Southland region. While visitors can access the site, the tower itself is not open to the public.
