Danger Point is where the Birkenhead went down in February 1852. The lighthouse was completed in January 1895.

Unfortunately Danger Point is only open between 10:00 and 15:00 on weekdays. They used to be open on weekends, but apparently the officials do not want to pay staff overtime which is a bit bizarre as most visitors would come during the weekend.
Visit Instructions:We don't require you to provide any specific proof of your visit, but we do request that you upload photos if possible, the more the merrier.
Ideally, you should try to take photos at the actual beacon location, but if that isn't possible (private property, terrain, etc), then photos taken from a distance are also welcome, especially if the beacon is visible in the photo.
