About Warden Head Lighthouse
Warden Head Lighthouse is a historic active lighthouse on Warden Head headland south of Ulladulla Harbour in Shoalhaven, New South Wales. Built in 1873 to guide vessels into Ulladulla Harbour, the small white tower remains an operational navigation aid. Set in a coastal reserve with walking tracks and ocean views, it is notable for its maritime heritage, headland location and panoramic outlook over the Tasman Sea and harbour.
