I wish I had more time to go and explore Cape Recife Nature Reserve more often with my camera. It offers so many photo opportunities, one of these being the Cape Recife Lighthouse. The lighthouse was built in 1851 on the western point of Algoa Bay. Cape Recife is one of the major turning points on the South African coastline and the lighthouse warns ships of Thunderbolt Reef and other hazards which they have to give a wide berth. The tower stands 24 metres high and is equipped with a fog signal, radio beacon, a red light (28º) and the main flashing white light (332º) that shines every 30 seconds and is visible up to 29 nautical miles out to sea.
