About St. Martin's Island Lighthouse
Also known as: St. Martin's Island (Narical Gingira)
The St. Martin's Island lighthouse is a square pyramidal skeletal tower with a lantern and gallery, standing 35 meters tall. Its white and red tower displays a horizontally slatted daymark in its upper section. From a focal height of 39 meters, it emits a white light with two flashes every 30 seconds. The lighthouse is situated near the island's northern settlement, approximately 44.2 kilometers from the nearest port of Akyab (Sittwe). The Bangladesh Department of Shipping operates this navigational aid.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels navigating the waters near the mouth of the Naf River, a critical waterway at the Bangladesh-Myanmar border, helping to define shipping lanes in a geopolitically sensitive area.
