About Hamada West Breakwater Lighthouse
A round cylindrical concrete tower, 9.5 meters in height, marks the north end of Hamada's main breakwater. This structure, built and first lit in 1993, features a flared top and a single-story concrete equipment shelter. Its exterior is painted red, and it emits two red flashes every six seconds, providing a clear navigational signal. The lighthouse stands 14 meters above sea level, visible for 11.6 nautical miles. The site is accessible to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for the safe entry and departure of all vessels navigating Hamada harbor, clearly marking the extremity of the main breakwater.
