About Jazīreh-ye Tonb-e Kūchek Lighthouse
Also known as: Jazīreh-ye Tonb-e Kūchek (Lesser Tunb Island)
A square pyramidal skeletal tower, painted white and topped with a lantern and gallery, stands 20 meters tall on Jazīreh-ye Tonb-e Kūchek. Its light, visible for 14.3 nautical miles, emits a white flash every 15 seconds from a focal height of 25 meters. This navigational aid was established in 1913 by the British and has been operated by Iranian authorities since 1974. The nearest port, Bandar-e Lengeh, is 22.9 kilometers away. The structure's design is a practical solution for its remote, arid island setting in the Persian Gulf.
Why it matters: This light marks Jazīreh-ye Tonb-e Kūchek, a point of navigation in the Persian Gulf, aiding safe passage along a historically significant shipping route.
