About Balyuzek Lighthouse

Also known as: Balyuzek (Mys Balyuzek)

The Balyuzek Lighthouse, built in 1965, stands 14 meters tall with its light reaching 80 meters above sea level. It features a square tower that rises from a keeper's house, topped by a lantern. This structure continues the legacy of earlier lights in the area, which guided vessels into Vladimira Bay. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 15 seconds, visible for over 22 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though visitors cannot enter the tower itself. Its nearest port is Rudnaya Pristan, located 29.5 kilometers away.

Why it matters: Vladimira Bay serves as the only reliable harbor of refuge along this part of the coast, making Balyuzek Lighthouse essential for vessels seeking shelter.
