About Povorotniy Lighthouse
Also known as: Povorotniy (Mys Povorotniy, Cape Turning)
The Povorotniy Lighthouse, constructed in 1892, is an octagonal stone tower standing 13 meters tall. Situated on Mys Povorotnyy, southeast of Nakhodka Bay's entrance, its focal height reaches 67 meters above sea level. The tower is painted white with a red lantern dome, and it emits a white light with a single flash every 6 seconds. This structure guides vessels in the Primorsky Krai region of Russia, with its nearest port being Kozmino, 3 kilometers away. Two small rubblestone keeper's houses are also part of the station.
Why it matters: Povorotniy Lighthouse is important for maritime traffic approaching Nakhodka Bay, a key port in Russia's Far East, and provides a navigational aid for ships rounding Mys Povorotnyy.
