Cape Jaffa Lighthouse

Cape Jaffa Lighthouse is a historic 1872 lighthouse now located on Marine Parade at Kingston SE in South Australia's Limestone Coast. Originally built on Margaret Brock Reef 8 km offshore to guide ships, it was decommissioned and relocated to the town in 1973. Operated as a museum by the National Trust of South Australia, it preserves its original Chance Brothers lantern and offers guided climbs with coastal views, representing significant maritime engineering heritage.

Visitors can expect a preserved 19th-century lighthouse relocated from an offshore reef to the Kingston SE foreshore overlooking Lacepede Bay. The site includes the 41-metre tower with spiral staircase, original Chance Brothers lantern room, keeper's cottage museum with maritime artefacts and photographs, and surrounding lawns and foreshore. Guided tours allow climbing to the balcony for panoramic coastal views. The experience is focused on maritime history and heritage interpretation.
