Cape Borda Lighthouse

Cape Borda Lighthouse is a historic lightstation at the north-west tip of Kangaroo Island in Flinders Chase National Park, South Australia. Built in 1858 from local limestone, it is the only square lighthouse in South Australia and the third oldest in the state. It overlooks Investigator Strait and served as a vital aid for ships navigating the treacherous waters off Kangaroo Island.

Visitors can expect a remote coastal setting on rugged cliffs at the north-western end of Kangaroo Island within Flinders Chase National Park. The site includes the square limestone lighthouse tower, former keepers' cottages, and a small museum display. Access to the tower interior is by guided tour only, with panoramic views over Investigator Strait, interpretive exhibits on lighthouse history and keepers' lives, and opportunities to see native wildlife and dramatic coastline.
