Umhlanga Lighthouse is a historic landmark located in the coastal city of Durban, South Africa. The lighthouse is situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Indian Ocean, providing stunning views of the surrounding coastline. The structure was built in 1954 and stands at 21 meters tall, making it one of the tallest lighthouses in the country.
The lighthouse is painted in distinctive white and red stripes, making it easily recognizable from a distance. The tower is made of reinforced concrete and features a spiral staircase leading to the top, where visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the ocean and the surrounding area. The light at the top of the tower is visible for up to 24 nautical miles, making it an important navigational aid for ships entering and leaving the nearby Durban harbor.
The area around the lighthouse is a popular tourist destination, with a variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops located nearby. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the promenade, which offers stunning views of the ocean and the lighthouse. The beach below the lighthouse is also a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing.
Overall, Umhlanga Lighthouse is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Durban. Its striking design, rich history, and stunning views make it a true gem of the South African coastline.
