    The Wollongong Breakwater Lighthouse sits at the entrance to Wollongong Harbour. It was constructed in 1872 to lead ships safely into the harbour during the area's coal boom. Nowadays, the lighthouse is no longer used as a navigational aid, but it also stands as a monument. The lighthouse is a great spot to enjoy a sunset and watch waves crash on the basalt rocks of the breakwater.
