The Port Shepstone Lighthouse, established in 1905, is a square, cast-iron tower located at the mouth of the Mzimkhulu River in Port Shepstone, KwaZulu-Natal. It was built to guide vessels into the port, which was developed to serve the local sugar and timber industries. The lighthouse stands 13 meters tall and emits a white flash every 10 seconds, with a range of 15 nautical miles. It is one of several lighthouses along the KwaZulu-Natal coast that were constructed during the early 20th century to improve maritime safety.
