The tales of intrepid travellers can be discovered at the Port Shepstone Maritime Museum on the Port Shepstone beachfront, awash with the relics of shipwrecks that tell the story of many seafarers’ fates.

Although it was retired of duty in 1905, the lighthouse is equipped with a radio beacon within the black-and-white chequered frame.
