About Araklı South Breakwater Lighthouse
The Araklı South Breakwater light was established in 2020, replacing an earlier structure. This modern navigational aid is located at the extremity of the inner breakwater protecting Araklı harbor. The metal tower, standing 9 meters tall, is cylindrical and painted red. Its light emits a red flash every 5 seconds. The focal plane is 10 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light is essential for safe entry into Araklı harbor, clearly marking the end of the south breakwater. Its unique architectural form distinguishes it among coastal aids.
