Cape Bruny Lighthouse was a delightful surprise and a standout on my Bruny Island journey. As someone who’s ticked off quite a few lighthouses, I thought I’d seen it all, but this one genuinely captivated me. Nestled on the southern tip of Bruny Island, the lighthouse offers sweeping views of the rugged coastline and the endless Southern Ocean. The lighthouse, built in 1836, has this timeless charm that instantly takes you back in time. While the lighthouse itself is impressive, it’s the small, free museum that really won me over. Packed with fascinating historical details, it provides a deeper look into the lighthouse’s past and its role in maritime history.

For $20, you can also take a tour that lets you climb up the lighthouse for an even more spectacular view. It’s a small price to pay for the chance to explore such a historic and scenic spot. Whether you’re there for the views, the history, or just a pleasant diversion, Cape Bruny Lighthouse is definitely worth a visit.
