The focal point of Norah Head is without question the Norah Head Lighthouse. With many ship wrecked vessels in the 1800s, the precast concrete block lighthouse structure was erected in 1903. In 1923 the lighthouse was upgraded to a brighter kerosene burner and finally converted to electricity in 1961.
At the entrance to Norah Head Lighthouse is a boat anchor which is a memorial for merchant marinas lost in time of war.
