About Nình Thuận Province Lighthouse Lighthouse

The Nình Thuận Province Lighthouse is a cylindrical tower constructed of granite, standing 16 meters tall. Its square base supports a lantern and gallery, which retain their white finish, contrasting with the tower's natural granite appearance. The station was established in 1889, with the current tower built in 1904 to aid navigation around the Mũi Dinh cape. Located about 40 kilometers south of Phan Rang, the lighthouse emits two white flashes followed by one white flash in a repeating sequence every 16 seconds. Its geographic range extends to 32.6 nautical miles.

Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels of the Mũi Dinh cape, a significant headland extending into the sea, facilitating safer coastal passage. The light's focal plane, at 186 meters, offers extensive visibility for mariners.
