Ağva North Breakwater Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Ağva North Breakwater Lighthouse
This white cylindrical concrete tower, standing 5 meters tall, marks the north side of the entrance to the Yeşilçay River. It displays a red flash every 3 seconds at a focal height of 7 meters and has a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles. The structure, built in 2024, features a narrow red horizontal band. A previous light in this position was noted to be leaning and in poor condition by 2023, necessitating its replacement. The site is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted.
Why it matters: The light is essential for mariners navigating the entrance to the Yeşilçay River, aiding local fishing and recreational vessels.
