Manabeshima Kō Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Manabeshima Kō Lighthouse
This 9.5-meter concrete tripod tower, painted red, was built and first lit in 1982. It stands on a square, one-story concrete equipment room located at the end of the main breakwater of Manabe Shima. The lighthouse emits a single red flash every six seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower structure is closed. Its nearest port is Hakoura, 6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for the local maritime community, ensuring safe passage for fishing boats and ferries navigating the approach to Manabe Shima's harbor. Its distinctive red light, marking the end of the main breakwater, prevents potential collisions and groundings in these coastal waters.
