About Amasra South Breakwater Lighthouse
Amasra South Breakwater lighthouse, established in 1961, is a cylindrical steel tower standing 10 meters tall. Painted white with a narrow red horizontal band, its structure is described as round and barbell-shaped. The light emits a single red flash every 6 seconds, visible for 11.6 nautical miles. It is located at the end of the east breakwater in Amasra, Turkey, approximately 0.4 kilometers from the nearest port. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light is essential for guiding vessels entering Amasra's harbor and warns them of the breakwater's extremity.
