Mys Uglovoy Lighthouse

This cylindrical skeletal tower stands 15 meters tall and is located on a promontory on the southwest side of Avacha Bay. Designed as a square cylindrical skeletal structure, it serves to guide vessels navigating into the bay. The lighthouse is situated near the port of Petropavlovsk, about 6.1 kilometers away. Although the specific date of its construction is not documented, its function has been to mark the bay's entrance and warn ships of potential hazards. It continues to operate in a remote coastal landscape.

Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for ships entering and exiting Avacha Bay, particularly those bound for the port of Petropavlovsk. It helps prevent groundings on the promontory it occupies.
