Towering over the cliffs, the Albion lighthouse has a panoramic view of the shoreline from Pointe aux Sables to Flic en Flac, and overlooks the luxury mansions of south Albion.
It is a historical site which still plays a major role a navigational aid. Given its strategical position on the way to Port Louis Harbour and its exceptional architecture (a concrete and masonry tower with a cast iron dome), it facilitates navigation into the harbour access channel.
The Cave Point Lighthouse, or in French; Le Phare de Pointe aux Caves, is also commonly known as Belle Vue Lighthouse, Phare Pointe, or simply Albion Lighthouse.
The tower height is 97 feet (30 meters) and the two white flashes that light up the area every 10 seconds are visible within 29 nautical miles.
