About Samiyani Island Lighthouse
Also known as: Samiyani Island (Okha Port)
The Samiyani Island Lighthouse is a cylindrical stone tower built in 1876. Standing 20 meters tall with a focal height of 22 meters, it is located on an island 1.5 kilometers north of Okha Point. The structure features a round tower with a lantern and gallery, mounted on a square stone base. Its light exhibits white and red flashes every five seconds, providing directional guidance. Visitors can access the island by boat from the nearby port of Okha, though the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the entrance to Okha harbor, a significant port. Its directional light assists vessels navigating the approach, and its construction by the princely state of Baroda highlights its historical role in regional maritime development.
