About La Grande Motte Jetée Ouest Lighthouse
This white concrete lighthouse stands 12 meters tall at the end of the west breakwater guiding vessels into La Grande Motte's harbor. Its design features two wing-like white concrete walls joined by a small equipment shelter at the base. The light emits two red flashes every six seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself is closed. The structure's unique architecture creates an optical illusion, making it appear larger from a distance.
Why it matters: The light is important for guiding maritime traffic into the port of La Grande Motte. Its distinctive design enhances visibility, making it easier for mariners to spot.
