Wollongong Head Lighthouse

Wollongong Head Lighthouse is an active coastal lighthouse on Flagstaff Hill at Wollongong Head in Wollongong, New South Wales. Built in 1936 to replace the 1872 Wollongong Breakwater Lighthouse, the white concrete tower stands above Wollongong Harbour and Belmore Basin. Operated as a navigation aid, it is heritage-listed and remains a prominent landmark offering panoramic views of the coastline, harbour and Illawarra escarpment.

Visitors can expect an exterior viewing experience on the grassy Flagstaff Hill reserve above Wollongong Harbour. The white concrete lighthouse tower is fenced and not open for interior access, but can be viewed and photographed from surrounding paved paths and lawns. The site offers open coastal outlooks over the harbour, Belmore Basin, beaches and coastline, with walking paths, seating and interpretive signage. The area is shared with the historic Flagstaff Hill Fort remains.
