Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse is an operational structure overlooking Mossel Bay. Its tower rises above a whitewashed rectangular building with red tiles that stands atop a mossy cliff. Spot whales, dolphins and ships offshore by this majestic lighthouse overlooking the Indian Ocean. Sit on the grass in view of the elegant lighthouse and enjoy a picnic with your friends and family. Spot intriguing wildlife such as rock badgers in this pleasant region. See the structure in the evening, when its bright light stands out against the night sky. The lighthouse is 46 feet (14 meters) tall with a balcony and lantern. Note that the lighthouse was a favorite post for light keepers, due to the picturesque environs and the busy towns on the Western Cape. It was constructed in 1864 and for many years the light keeper would climb to the tower to wind the mechanism at 3-hour intervals. Note that today the light is automated, although a light keeper remains here to conduct meteorological and radio studies. Follow the zigzagged path down into the vast cave at the foot of the cliffs. The mouth of the grotto has a spectacular view of the ocean and the foamy waves lapping its rocky base. Imagine the intriguing past of the cave, in which hunter-gatherers lived in the Stone Age. For a change of scenery, embark on treks along the trails of the surrounding Garden Route to admire the wildflowers and fynbos heathland that grow there. Purchase tickets to the lighthouse for a reasonable fee and get discounts for kids, pensioners and students. The site opens to visitors Monday through Friday from morning until afternoon. Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse is in the southeastern part of its namesake village. Ride the train to the Mossel Bay Railway Station and wander southeast for 15 minutes to reach the structure. It is near the Mossel Bay Harbour and the Dias Museum that chronicles the arrival of a Portuguese explorer. ## Plan a trip to see Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse Price found within the past 48 hours.
