About Obama City Lighthouses Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete lighthouse stands 8.5 meters tall, with its light at a focal height of 10 meters. Painted white, the structure is round and hourglass-shaped. It emits a green light with a single flash every 12 seconds, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated at the south end of the detached breakwater that shelters Obama harbor. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.

Its distinct green flash characteristic helps differentiate it from other lights, preventing potential collisions and groundings for vessels approaching the port.
