The view from the Sugarloaf Point lighthouse Seal Rocks on the NSW coast is breathtaking. From the lighthouse you can look down on the magnificent Treachery Beach and you might even be lucky enough to spot whales migrating along the coast.
The Sugarloaf Point lighthouse sits on a prominent coastal headland and is still active. Built in 1875, its job is to warn ships of the dangerous rock formations in the nearby Seal Rocks.
The architecture of the lighthouses is very strong and grand. The design of the black metal railing and external staircase contrast beautifully against the white rendered walls. The arched doors and inset windows add a touch of elegance to the building.
It’s a stunning coastal setting – if not a bit windy – overlooking the South Pacific Ocean.
If you fancy a few nights holiday in this stunning location near the Sugarloaf Point lighthouse, you can stay at the nearby cottages. The historic Seal Rocks lighthouse keepers cottage built in the 1870’s, have been refurbished into self-contained accommodation.
