About Ostrov Rechnoy Lighthouse

Constructed in 1886, Ostrov Rechnoy Lighthouse is positioned on Rechnoy Island, a small landmass approximately 11 kilometers from the port of Vladivostok.

It marks the island itself, helping vessels avoid hazards in the waters of Peter the Great Gulf. The lighthouse continues to serve as an active aid to navigation, guiding mariners in the region.

Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for ships navigating the approaches to Vladivostok, particularly those transiting Peter the Great Gulf. It warns about the presence of Rechnoy Island and supports the safe passage of commercial and naval vessels.
