About Kivikari Lighthouse
Kivikari lighthouse is a 7-meter square stone tower topped with a lantern and gallery. It stands in the Kivikari Channel, a narrow passage between islands opposite the inhabited island of Haapasaari. The lighthouse emits a quick-flashing sector light, showing white, red, or green depending on the direction of approach. Its geographic range is 9.7 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Kotka, located 11.5 kilometers away.
