Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse
Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse sits at the tip of a spectacular peninsula where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet.

Situated at the most south westerly point of Australia, on one of the world’s three great capes, Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse on mainland Australia. Discover its maritime history and admire the vast seascape and untamed coastline.

Our guided tours will take you to the top of this historic lighthouse, where you’ll learn fascinating stories about the lightkeepers, the region’s maritime heritage, and the tower’s unique craftsmanship. From the top, you can take in spectacular views of the cape and its rugged coastline. You might even spot whales during their northern migration between May and August.

Visitors can also explore the Interpretive Centre, housed inside one of the original lightkeepers’ cottages, an immersive experience that celebrates the history and lives of the men, women and children who once lived at the tallest lighthouse in mainland Australia.
