West Point Lighthouse
The West Point lighthouse was built in 1916 on the most westerly point of Tasmania.
It was replaced in 1982 by the Bluff Hill Point Lighthouse a short distance to the south. All that remains is the concrete base.
Access
The lighthouse grounds are open all year round. All that remains is the concrete base.
