About Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse
Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse is a heritage-listed coastal lighthouse on Sugarloaf Point at Seal Rocks within Myall Lakes National Park, New South Wales. Built in 1875 to a design by Colonial Architect James Barnet, it features a white rendered brick tower and keeper's cottages. Perched on a forested headland above the Tasman Sea, it remains an active aid to navigation and is notable for its architecture, history and panoramic coastal views.
