Location & Light Range
About Kakinada Bay Range Rear Lighthouse
This square pyramidal skeletal tower stands 31 meters tall on a square platform in Kakinada Bay. Constructed of steel, it is painted white and houses a light with a focal height of 31 meters. The light emits a white flash every 15 seconds, visible for 15.5 nautical miles. It is located 900 meters southwest of the Kakinada Bay Range Front light. The site is accessible, but the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse functions as the rear marker for a range, working with its front counterpart to offer precise directional guidance for vessels navigating the Kakinada Bay channels.
