Location & Light Range
About Gukhwado Breakwater Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower stands 12 meters tall on the northeast end of Gukhwado island. Painted yellow with white trim, it formerly featured red coloring. The structure includes a lantern and gallery. It emits a yellow light with a single flash every 6 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located at the end of a breakwater pier, marking its extremity. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's yellow flash helps mariners identify the breakwater's end, aiding safe passage for vessels using the local shipping lanes.
