Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse complex in Mossel Bay on South Africa’s Garden Route, set high on coastal cliffs above the Indian Ocean. Built in the 1860s, the white tower and its attached buildings sit well back from the waterline, so the strongest compositions focus on the lighthouse on the headland with sweeping horizons, rugged cliff scenery, and big skies. The nearby St. Blaize hiking trail follows the cliff edge and gives you several places to photograph the coastline and the lighthouse from different distances. The site is accessible by road, and visitor facilities can include guided tours and a small shop depending on the day. Late afternoon and sunset often work best here for warm light and long shadows across the rocks. (Mossel Bay, Western Cape, South Africa)
