About

Crookhaven Heads Light is a lighthouse located at Crookhaven Heads, a headland on the south side of the entrance to the Shoalhaven River, north of Culburra Beach, New South Wales, Australia. Together with a movable light flashing yellow every 2 seconds, it served as a range light into the channel. The lighthouse is in a severely deteriorated condition, and considered by some the most endangered lighthouse in New South Wales, suffering from repeated vandalization.

In 2007 it was replaced with a light on a steel pole. In 2022 a replica of the Lighthouse, including the original lantern, was installed at the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum.
