Square Rock Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Square Rock Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower stands 10 meters tall on a rock located off the south point of Sound Island and on the north side of the Mayabunder entrance. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 15 seconds, with its light visible for 11.3 nautical miles. It occupies a solitary rock which serves as a navigational hazard, warning vessels of its presence. Access to this structure, situated 76.1 kilometers from Port Blair, is only possible by boat due to its exposed location. Its functional design emphasizes its role in maritime safety.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks a submerged rock, defining the safe channel for local fishing and cargo vessels entering Mayabunder from the north.
