Phare de Berck, Marine beacon in Berck, France

The cylindrical tower of Berck lighthouse rises 40 meters high with alternating red and white circular bands visible from the Authie Bay.

The original 1836 lighthouse was destroyed during World War II, leading to the construction of the current structure in 1949 by French authorities.

The keeper's house adjacent to the lighthouse contains exhibits about traditional fishing families and local maritime heritage of Berck-sur-Mer.

While the lighthouse tower remains closed to visitors due to safety regulations, the keeper's house welcomes guests from April through October.

The Berck lighthouse stands as the only French maritime beacon built using prestressed concrete, an experimental technique implemented by the Lighthouse Service.
