About Digue des Criquas Lighthouse
The Digue des Criquas lighthouse stands at the end of the west outer breakwater for Saint-Jean-de-Luz. This square tower, 6 meters tall with a focal height of 11 meters, is painted white with a green band at its uppermost section. It emits a single green flash every 4 seconds, visible for 10.7 nautical miles. The light is housed atop a square equipment building. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the western edge of the harbor entrance to Saint-Jean-de-Luz and its breakwater, guiding vessels into the port.
