About Toten Island Range Rear Lighthouse
This white concrete tower, standing 9 meters tall, is situated on Toten Island, 75 meters west-southwest of its corresponding front light. With a focal height of 12 meters, it emits a white flash every 7 seconds, offering a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. The structure is part of a navigational range, guiding vessels approaching the island from the sea. The site is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted. The nearest port is Tanga, approximately 1 kilometer away.
Why it matters: As the rear light of a range, this structure is essential for vessels aligning their course to safely navigate the waters around Toten Island, particularly in conditions that may reduce visibility.
