Cape Egmont Lighthouse

Cape Egmont Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in the Taranaki Region of the North Island of New Zealand.

The lighthouse was built in London in the mid-1800s and shipped to New Zealand in pieces. It was then reassembled on a rocky outcrop at Pungarehu, overlooking the Tasman Sea.

The lighthouse was first lit in 1881 and was manned by a keeper until it was automated in 1986. It stands at 15 meters tall and has a range of 19 nautical miles. The lighthouse is now a popular tourist attraction and is open to the public for tours. Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse and enjoy panoramic views of the rugged coastline and surrounding countryside.

Cape Egmont Lighthouse is an important part of New Zealand's maritime history and is a testament to the skill and dedication of the engineers and builders who constructed it. It is also a symbol of the country's rich cultural heritage and is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in New Zealand's history and natural beauty.
