Seal Point is a lighthouse on Cape St. Francis in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The lighthouse is operational and houses a museum. Public access to the top of the tower is allowed in the company of a guide. Construction on the lighthouse started in November 1875 and it became operational on 4 July 1878. Total construction cost was £20,000. The lighthouse was used by SANCOB to house penguins and other birdlife. This was until its closure in recent years. Currently, the area around the lighthouse has been developed into bike paths.
