About Naha Sinkō Breakwater South End Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1979, is a white, round cylindrical tower with a lantern and gallery, standing 19 meters tall. Its focal plane is 22 meters above sea level, and it emits a green flash every 4 seconds. The light provides a geographic range of 13.6 nautical miles. It marks the southern end of the detached main breakwater for Naha Sinkō, a new harbor on the north side of Naha, Okinawa. Evidence suggests the breakwater may have been shorter in 2008, indicating ongoing development of the harbor.
Why it matters: This light is essential for guiding vessels safely into Naha Sinkō and marks the south end of the detached main breakwater, preventing ships from striking this barrier.
