Description

This site is where supplies for the Wilsons Promontory Lighthouse were landed back in the day. The lighthouse was built in 1859 from local granite. The lighthouse and its historic residences are the southernmost settlement on the Australian mainland.

The bottom here has granite boulders up to 10 metres high, covered with fish, including clouds of Butterfly and Barber Perch. In the shallows near the landing you may be able to see fragments of lighthouse supplies that were lost overboard from supply vessels.
