About Tammio Range Rear Lighthouse

The Tammio Range Rear light stands 19 meters tall on a skeletal tower painted red and yellow, situated on the west side of Tammio. Its light is positioned 20 meters above sea level and emits a long white flash every 8 seconds, visible for 13.2 nautical miles. This light guides vessels on an outer approach from the Gulf of Finland towards the beginning of an inside passage. The operational light's site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Hamina, 9.7 kilometers away.

Why it matters: This light is essential for guiding vessels from the open Gulf of Finland into the initial segment of a sheltered inside passage, a critical transition for coastal navigation.
