About Gwadar Lighthouse
Also known as: Gwadar (Gwadur, Ras Nuh)
The Gwadar Lighthouse is a 11-meter-tall square steel skeletal tower built in 1970. It stands on the Balochistan coast, overlooking the Arabian Sea, with its light positioned 85 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 15 seconds, visible for 23.2 nautical miles. It is located 1.1 kilometers from the nearest port, Gwadar. The Mercantile Marine Department maintains its operation.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is critical for ships navigating the Arabian Sea, specifically warning them away from the headland of Ras Nuh as they approach Gwadar Port. Its light helps define the shipping lanes for commercial traffic in this developing port region.
