A 9-meter cylindrical concrete tower, painted with black and white horizontal bands, stands 11 meters above the water. This lighthouse was built in 2002, replacing a previous structure destroyed by a tropical cyclone in 1998. The original station was established in 1935, with a concrete tower built in 1957. The present lighthouse emits a green flash every 3 seconds and has a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. It is situated in the water off the northeast tip of Samiyani Island, marking the end of a long shoal.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for mariners navigating the waters around Samiyani Island, specifically warning them of the extensive shoal that stretches from the island's northeast tip.
