Two historic cast lighthouses help keep traffic moving safely.

The South Mole Lighthouse (in operation since 1903) and the North Mole Lighthouse (1906) are 15 meters tall and constructed with cast iron. The North Mole Lighthouse is painted red and emits a red light, while the South Mole is green and sends out a green beacon.
