Silent Sentinels

The front tower is located just offshore between Princes Pier and Station Pier, and was historically linked with a footbridge that is no longer extant. While no longer operational, it remains a visible and significant reminder of the Port’s history. Within a direct line of sight to the front tower, the concrete rear tower is located half a kilometre north within the Beacon Cove residential development. The directional beam is still operational, and with listings on the National Trust and Victorian heritage registers, remain a historically and socially significant presence within the community.
