Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse sits at the tip of a spectacular peninsula in Augusta, Western Australia, where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet.

Located at the most south-westerly point of Australia and standing on one of the world’s great capes, the lighthouse is celebrated for its striking position and remarkable craftsmanship.

Take a fully guided tour inside the tallest lighthouse on mainland Australia, explore its maritime history and feel the sea breeze on your face as you take in sweeping coastal views. From May to August, you may spot migrating whales moving north along the horizon.

Guided tours lead to the top of the lighthouse tower, revealing stories of lightkeepers and the vital role this beacon played in safely guiding ships along a rugged coastline.

Explore the Interpretive Centre, set within an original lightkeepers’ cottage, as it brings to life the daily experiences of the families who once called this remote outpost home, offering an inspiring and interactive encounter.

Set near scenic lookouts and peaceful coastal trails, including the Cape to Cape track. The surrounding landscape enhances the sense of natural wonder and discovery.
