About An Hòa Lighthouse

The structure features six ribs and is topped with a lantern and gallery. Its focal height reaches 30 meters, providing a geographic range of 15.3 nautical miles. The light emits two white flashes followed by a third white flash every 12 seconds. This Vietnamese lighthouse, located near Núi Thành and 3.8 km from Chu Lai port, was substantially rebuilt in 2016. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
