Located in the coastal town of Kellys Bay, North Island, New Zealand, Pouto Point Lighthouse is a spectacular site for nature and history lovers alike. The lighthouse stands proudly atop a sandstone cliff, offering stunning views of the Tasman Sea and Kaipara Harbour. Visitors can take a leisurely walk to the lighthouse along the stretches of Ripiro Beach at low tide and hike up the dunes in the area. At one time, this was the busiest harbour in New Zealand, used to transport valuable kauri timber and gum, so it’s worth taking the time to explore the area and discover its rich history. The lighthouse is open 24 hours every day, so be sure to take a visit and capture some beautiful photos of this historical treasure.
