As the tallest lighthouse on mainland Australia, Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse is a must-see attraction. This historic lighthouse is situated at the most south-westerly point of Australia, at the tip of a spectacular peninsula - where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet.
Take a trip through maritime history and learn how this famous landmark was constructed from local limestone in 1895, and is still a vital working lighthouse for vessels navigating the treacherous cape.
It's also one of the best land-based vantage points for spotting whales from May - September!
The Interpretive Centre, housed within one of the original lighthouses keepers' cottages, is an outstanding interactive experience that celebrates the history and lives of the numerous lighthouse keepers who were custodians of this rugged coastline.
Visitors can also enjoy a coffee or delicious light refreshments in the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse Café.

Amazing feeling we had after the visit of cape leeuwin lighthouse.
We took the guided tour of the light house, and it was well worth it. Museum turned Keeper's house also worth to look at for a while.
We climbed to the point right below the light and went out onto the veranda or deck. The wind was so strong that I had to hold my mobile really firmly. The intensity was incredible. It was a wonderful tour that deserves to be experienced.

A wonderful experience, the museum is brilliantly designed and engaging the lighthouse tour was informative and fun. Scenery was absolutely stunning. We left happy and windswept

Excellent tour of the light house, with an added bonus of a wonder around the grounds as well as, a sticky beak through the light house keeps house, which is now museum.
We took the option of the guided tour of the light house and it was well worth it, being in one of the tallest light house in Australia and seeing the thickness of the walls, the number of stairs to the top, plus getting an understanding of the effort to build and support it over the years was great.
We climbed to the just below the light and went out on the veranda or deck & the wind was strong enough, to even take a young lady out of Prince Andrew’s grasp, the force was amazing & it was only a mild day.
It would be hard to believe somebody going out there in a gale.
Overall it was a wonder tour, well worth doing.
