Coastal erosion is an ongoing issue at Low Point.
Work to prevent shore erosion at the point was underway as far back as 1915, that year at a cost of $3,223.76.
By 1917 repairs were already required to the erosion protection, at a further cost of $1,434.06.

By 2015 the lighthouse stood only about 20 metres (66 ft) away from the nearby cliff, partially protected by the remains of a crumbling wooden seawall.
Erosion of the bank is visibly threatening the tower's foundation.
Unless a new breakwater is installed, it is only a matter of time before this large, historic, octagonal concrete tower will topple into the sea.
