About Sekondi Main Breakwater Lighthouse
Also known as: Sekondi Main Breakwater (Sekondi Range Front)
A square concrete tower stands 5 meters tall at the end of Sekondi's north breakwater, guiding vessels into the harbour. Its focal plane is 9 meters above the water, emitting a red flash every 3 seconds. The structure is painted in a distinctive red and white checkered pattern, serving as a visual marker. This lighthouse has been operational, providing a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the precise end of the north breakwater, warning mariners of the harbor entrance and preventing groundings. Its unique checkered pattern also serves as a visual daymark for identification.
