About Kaitkivi Lighthouse
Kaitkivi lighthouse is a 5-meter tall square concrete tower situated on a reef southwest of Innamo, Finland. It marks the northern boundary of a ship channel in the Southwest Finland region. The structure includes a lantern and gallery, and emits a directional white, red, or green light. This light flashes once every 4 seconds. The lighthouse has a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles. While the tower itself is closed to visitors, the site is accessible by boat, located 6.3 km from the nearest port in Nagu. It is part of the Finnish maritime infrastructure, assisting navigation.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels through the reef-laden channel north of Innamo, a significant route for maritime traffic within the Finnish archipelago. Its sector light specifically alerts mariners to the reef southwest of Innamo, helping to prevent groundings.
