About Dakar Entrée Feu Vert Lighthouse
Also known as: Dakar Entrée Feu Vert (North Jetty)
Dakar Entrée Feu Vert is a 9-meter tall cylindrical tower located at the south end of the north breakwater in Dakar harbor. Painted white with a green top, it emits a single green occulting flash every 4 seconds. The light has a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. This modern light became active by 2018, built next to an earlier skeletal tower that remains standing. The tower is situated 0.1 kilometers from the nearest port, Dakar.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels into Dakar harbor, a major maritime gateway in the region. Its presence helps define the safe channel, preventing collisions with the breakwater.
