Cape Recife Beacon

In addition to the lighthouse out at Cape Recife, there is also this "lighthouse looking" tower standing on the rocks.  It doesn't have a light though, but it is still a shipping beacon.  This specific beacon is one of two that had to be lined up in the old days by ships coming from the west before they could turn north and into Algoa Bay.
