Tips from locals
Lit in 1884 and still in operation today, the lighthouse offers spectacular views and features stunning tall white stone walls with a hint of romance of past nautical history. Whilst visiting the lighthouse drop in at the local cafe ‘Isabelles’s’ for delicious treats.
Great spot to visit & just a short walk from the car park Please visit www.capenelsonlighthouse.com.au For information on tours & cafe opening hours Taking the Scenic Drive to the Lighthouse it is worth stopping at ‘Yellow Rock’ a popular surf spot & ‘The Enchanted Forest’ a short walking track
Gordon is great at advising you all about lighthouses and local knowledge ask him.
Love the lighthouse and the walks nearby. If you have 2 cars then it is great to leave one car at Murrells Beach car park and the other at the lighthouse. You may be able to finish you walk with a coffee or light lunch at Lighthouse Cafe if it is opened. Stunning views along the walk towards Cape Bridgewater.
