Warden Head Lighthouse

Landmarks and Buildings

Warden Head Lighthouse

A great spot for spotting sea life and whale watching in spring. Originally built on the Ulladulla Breakwater in 1873, the light was relocated to Warden Head in 1879. It's one of only two towers in New South Wales constructed from wrought iron plates, making it a rare example of its type. In 1920, the original oil lamp was replaced by a flashing light powered by acetylene gas, allowing unmanned operation. The lighthouse was converted to electricity in 1964 and now operates on batteries float charged from a 240-volt mains supply. The grounds are open all year, although the tower is not accessible. Parking at Warden Head is limited, particularly for larger vehicles. Visitors who are able are encouraged to park at the playing fields and enjoy a scenic walk via the Coomee Nulunga Trail, or along the shared-user path.
