Cape Egmont Lighthouse is set on the southern Taranaki coast about 50 kilometres south west of New Plymouth. It was originally erected on Mana Island and moved to Cape Egmont in 1877.

Today Cape Egmont Lighthouse is accessible to the public by foot if you're walking from the end of Cape Road. There is no public access to enter the inside of the lighthouse.

Not many people know that this lighthouse was actually made in England in 1865 and assembled in Wellington to be kept there! But after too many boat accidents it was disassembled and came to live in Taranaki where it has remained ever since! There’s always a heap of visitors on a good day, with plaques every now and then up the staircase about the lighthouse’s history. And when you get to the top, it’s so beautiful it’s well worth the trip out!

    Take a roadtrip along Taranaki's long and winding Surf Highway 45 to experience the raw and rugged beauty of the North Island's bejewelled, black-sand West Coast. Along with the legendary Stent Rd surf spot where you can either jump in the water and catch a wave or check out the seriously good-looking surfers who rock up to this well-known break on a regular basis, the most iconic stop on any Taranaki roadie is to see Cape Egmont Lighthouse. Perched out on a point, the wind-swept piece of coastline is punctuated by this beautiful, white historical lighthouse that is one of New Zealand's most legendary landmarks.

      You may not be able to enter the lighthouse and get up to the top, but this spot has been put on calenders for years. It's a great spot to visit and say you've been there, and it takes awesome photos! Definitely a land mark you want to visit on your next trip South.

        Discover the true beauty of Taranaki by taking the trip out to the Cape Egmont Lighthouse. Overlooking the western-most point of the Taranaki coast, the views are stunning and the lighthouse itself is a sight to behold (it has been there since 1881!)
