About Osičac Lighthouse

Also known as: Osičac (Rt Osičac)

This white, cylindrical stone tower stands 8 meters tall on Rt Osičac, marking the north side of the western entrance to the Pelješki Kanal. With a focal height of 9 meters, its light emits a white flash every 3 seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles. The structure is an octagonal stone tower with a gallery, painted white. Situated 8.1 kilometers from the nearest port of Korcula, its remote location contributes to its untamed surroundings.

Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe passage through the Pelješki Kanal, a key waterway separating the Pelješac Peninsula from Korčula island, and warns mariners about the headland of Rt Osičac.
