Low Head Lighthouse

Low Head Lighthouse, perched on Tasmania’s northern coast near the mouth of the Tamar River, is Australia’s oldest continuously used pilot station and a striking subject for photographers. The lighthouse’s classic red-and-white design contrasts beautifully against the rugged cliffs and often stormy seas, offering compelling compositions during sunrise and golden hour. The surrounding area features panoramic ocean views, rocky shorelines, and historic buildings, making it rich in maritime character. Easily accessible by road from George Town with on-site parking, this location is also popular for capturing penguins at dusk and ships entering the river, adding diversity to any photo session.
