Hamada North Breakwater Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Hamada North Breakwater Lighthouse
Located at the west end of the original detached north breakwater of Hamada harbor, this operational light is housed in a round brick tower standing 10.5 meters tall. The tower rises from a single-story equipment building and emits a white light with one flash every 12 seconds. With a focal height of 14 meters, it offers a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. The site is accessible, but the tower itself is closed to the public. The light is situated 0.7 kilometers from the nearest port, Hamada, serving as a marker for maritime traffic.
Why it matters: This light is essential for the safe navigation of ships utilizing Hamada harbor, particularly those approaching or departing the port via its northern entrance. Its white light clearly delineates the end of the breakwater, preventing collisions with the structure.
