About Cochin Range Front Lighthouse
This square skeletal steel tower stands 9 meters tall, painted with red and white horizontal bands.

The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed to entry. It is situated approximately 2.6 kilometers from the nearest port, Kochi.
Why it matters: The Cochin Range Front lighthouse serves as the second range marker, essential for guiding vessels into the Cochin docks by helping them maintain the correct course through the channel.
