Situated near the Thu Bồn River estuary, it is 17.2 kilometers from Da Nang, the nearest major port. The structure is surrounded by the estuary where the river meets the South China Sea.
Why it matters: This lighthouse aids navigation at the entrance to the Thu Bồn River estuary, a historically important route for trade and maritime activity. It helps vessels navigate the dynamic sandbars and currents at the river mouth.
