About Oukacha Lighthouse
Constructed in 1960, the Oukacha lighthouse stands on a rocky promontory on the eastern side of Casablanca. The lighthouse consists of a square cylindrical masonry tower, 20 meters high, topped with a lantern and gallery. Its light is positioned 29 meters above sea level. The light emits two quick white flashes every 2 seconds. The lighthouse has a geographic range of 15.1 nautical miles. Its nearest port is Casablanca, located 1.4 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The Oukacha lighthouse is indispensable for the safe navigation of commercial and passenger vessels approaching and departing the port of Casablanca, Morocco's primary economic hub. Its lights specifically warn mariners of the rocky promontory it occupies, a significant hazard along this busy stretch of the Atlantic coast.
