Mishima East Breakwater Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Mishima East Breakwater Lighthouse
This red, cylindrical concrete tower stands 10 meters tall on the detached east breakwater at Mishima harbor's southern end. Its focal plane reaches 14 meters above the water. The structure features a flared top and is attached to a small equipment shelter. The light emits a single bright red flash every four seconds, visible for 11.6 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This light guides vessels past the east breakwater into Mishima harbor, rectifying historical charting errors by Admiralty and NGA regarding its location on the breakwater system.
