Cape Reinga Lighthouse
Beautiful Lighthouses
Perched at the northwestern tip of New Zealand, the Cape Reinga Lighthouse stands as a beacon of navigation with a side of myth and magic. Here, the Tasman Sea dramatically mingles with the Pacific Ocean, creating a tapestry of swirling waters and sparkling spume below. Built in 1941, this iconic lighthouse is renowned for its distinctive, squat appearance, featuring a white cladding casing topped by a bold red lantern room. According to Māori legend, it is from this sacred point that spirits travel on their journey to the ancestral homeland, infusing the area with a spiritual sense of wonder.
