This historic lighthouse has been moved from its original location offshore at Cape Jaffa into Kingston and restored. It offers a glimpse into the maritime history of the region.
Cape Jaffa Lighthouse is a decommissioned lighthouse formerly located on Margaret Brock Reef near Cape Jaffa on the southeast coast of South Australia and whose tower has been located in the town of Kingston SE since 1976. The former lighthouse tower is owned by the National Trust of South Australia, which operates it as a museum. The platform which supported the tower is still in place at Margaret Brock Reef as of 2022.

The museum features many pioneer items connected with local history, including shipwreck artifacts.
Stretching out into Lacepede Bay, the jetty is a great place for fishing, walking, or watching pelicans and seabirds.
Known locally as “Larry,” this iconic roadside attraction stands about 17 metres tall and celebrates the region’s lobster fishing industry. It’s a classic Australian “Big Thing” and a popular photo stop.
