Troubridge Hill Lighthouse

Perched on the windswept coast just outside Edithburgh, the striking Troubridge Hill Lighthouse is a must-see for visitors to the Yorke Peninsula. Built in 1909 from distinctive wedge-shaped clay bricks, its unusual design was crafted to endure the fierce coastal winds and occasional tremors that once shook the region.

Soaring 32 metres above the rugged shoreline, the lighthouse has been a steadfast guardian for over a century, guiding ships safely past the treacherous waters of Troubridge Shoals. Its powerful light reaches an impressive 22 nautical miles, a vital lifeline for mariners navigating these unpredictable seas.

Adding to its charm, Troubridge Hill Lighthouse operates with a blend of resilience and independence. While mains electricity powers the light, a backup generator stands ready to ensure the beacon never falters – a testament to its enduring role in maritime safety.

A visit to this historic site offers more than just a photo opportunity. You'll discover the ingenuity of its construction, the stories of those who relied on its beam, and panoramic coastal views that will take your breath away. Whether you're a history buff, a keen photographer, or simply a lover of dramatic landscapes, Troubridge Hill Lighthouse is a shining highlight of any Yorke Peninsula adventure.

The Yorke Peninsula is the traditional lands of the Narungga (Nharangga) people, who have lived on, and cared for, this country since the beginning of time. We work, live and travel on Nharannga Banggara [Country], and we take time away from those pursuits to acknowledge and pay our deep respects to the Nharangga Elders of the past and present. 

Today, it is essential that we continue to care for and protect our spectacular natural environment. Tread lightly and leave no trace. Learn more about responsible and respectful travel on Yorke Peninsula.
