It is often mentioned that the first lighthouse had been built onto the tip of the pier (Mole). The 'tower' on the pier was simply a beacon, 6.5 m high with a light on top, which marked the entrance to the harbour. It was washed away by the sea less than five months after the inauguration of the Mole.

In a lighthouse, the source of light is called the lamp (whether electric or fueled by oil) and the concentration of the light is by the lens or optic. Originally lit by open fires and later candles, the Argand hollow wick lamp and parabolic reflector were introduced in the late 18th century.

11 m Swakopmund Lighthouse, located opposite of Municipal gardens, was opened in July 1902. It is 21 years older than Walvis Bay Lighthouse at Pelican Point. A further 10 m was added in 1910. The original beacon erected at The Mole was washed away by strong current. The Lighthouse is still in operation, guiding ships with its light seen as far as from 35 nautical miles.

The St. George Reef Lighthouse sits on a concrete pier 70 feet high. Its tower is 134 feet, made of 1339 granite blocks with some blocks weighing up to 2 1/2 tons each. The blocks were fit together with no more than a 3/16 gap and held together with metal dowels, cement, and stone shoved in the crevices.

In 1936, however, they abandoned the lighthouse to the sea and moved its light to a skeleton steel tower in Buxton Woods. In the 1960s and 1970s, as the ocean continued to creep closer, various attempts to stabilize the coast included beach nourishment and three new groins installed north of the lighthouse.

Why the Cape Hatteras Light Station Had to be Moved. When completed in 1870, the Cape Hatteras lighthouse was located a safe 1,500 feet from the ocean. Even then, however, storm-driven tides completely washed over Hatteras Island, eroding sand from the ocean side of the island and depositing it on the sound side.
