About Sikka Range Rear Lighthouse
Established in 2011, the Sikka Range Rear light is a skeletal tower situated atop a square platform supported by piles. This structure stands 500 meters southeast of its corresponding front light. It emits a fixed red signal. The tower's design is skeletal, and the platform rests on piles, indicating its placement within a water or tidal area. Access to the site is permitted, though the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Sika, located approximately 0.8 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This range light is essential for the safe passage of commercial vessels navigating the approach to Sikka Ports and Terminals, a major industrial port in India. Its continuous red light provides a critical navigational aid, ensuring ships maintain the correct bearing to avoid hazards and enter the harbor efficiently.
