Point Perpendicular Lighthouse
Point Perpendicular
A lighthouse and near-100-metre sea cliff at the tip of the Beecroft Peninsula, overlooking the mouth of Jervis Bay, and a hotspot for whale watching and climbing.
Point Perpendicular sits at the southeastern tip of the Beecroft Peninsula, where sandstone cliffs nearly 100 metres high drop straight into the sea. The stone lighthouse, built in 1899, replaced the old tower at Cape St George. From the clifftop viewing platform you can overlook the bay mouth and, across the water, Booderee National Park, and humpback whales are often seen from May to November. The cliffs are a well-known sea-cliff climbing site. The road crosses the Defence firing range and is closed on firing days, so check ahead. There are no railings at the cliff edge, so keep well back from the edge.
