The Port Shepstone Lighthouse is an 8 m high, round cast iron tower in Port Shepstone, at the mouth of the Umzimkulu River on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal. It was commissioned on 10 March 1905.
The lighthouse is painted with a checkered black and white pattern. The electric light, mounted on a rotating system, produces 1,130,000 CD and can be seen 26 nautical miles away. The light flashes once every 6 seconds and has a focal plane of 24 m above the high water mark.[1]
