About Oistins Fishing Jetty Lighthouse

A square pierhead building topped with a mast supports the Oistins Fishing Jetty light. This structure stands 5 meters tall with its light positioned 6 meters above the water. The light emits a single red flash, visible for nearly 9 nautical miles. Constructed of steel, the pierhead building has a gazebo-like appearance.
