About Mikhmoret Lighthouse

Also known as: Mikhmoret (Michmoret)

This lighthouse stands on the northern edge of Mikhmoret Harbor, approximately 7 kilometers north of Netanya. The structure, likely established in the 1960s, is part of the Mevo'ot Yam Nautical School. It emits two flashes, one white and one red, every 15 seconds. The light is housed within the roof of a single-story concrete building supported by concrete piles. The tower is painted dark blue with white trim and has a focal height of 14 meters, with a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles.

Why it matters: Its distinct two-flash signal assists vessels navigating Mikhmoret Harbor and highlights its role in maritime training at the Mevo'ot Yam Nautical School.
