Beautiful walk up to the east coast lighthouse. Beautiful ocean views at the top! Get up early and watch the sun rise!!

The lighthouse at East Cape was originally located on East Island, just off the tip of East Cape. The East Island light was first lit in 1900. This location was very troublesome right from the start. The government steamer capsized while bringing tower construction materials to East Island, and four men died. East Island was also very unstable and the cliffs were constantly being eroded and slipping into the ocean. By the 1920s these slips were coming close to the lighthouse, and the decision was made to relocate the lighthouse to the mainland. The light on East Island was extinguished in April 1922. The tower and all the buildings were relocated to the mainland. The East Cape Lighthouse began operation in December 1922. The lighthouse has the privilege of being the first to greet the sun every morning and what a beautiful sight that is. Very memorable moment to treasure
