Situated near the tip of North West Cape, the lighthouse was built in 1912 for the sum of $34,858.00.

The original 200,000 candle power kerosene lamp was replaced by an electric light in 1967.

The grave of lighthouse keeper Frank Reddy, who died from dysentery in 1912, can still be seen near the lighthouse keeper’s quarters.
