Galina Lighthouse, National monument lighthouse in Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica.
Galina Lighthouse is a white concrete tower standing on the coastline of Saint Mary Parish, rising about 13 meters above sea level. The top of the structure holds a solar-powered light lens that emits navigational signals.
The lighthouse was established in 1912 as a navigation station for ships traveling through northern Jamaican waters. Its construction marked an important development in maritime infrastructure along this coast.
The lighthouse is part of Jamaica's maritime safety system managed by port authorities. It serves as a navigational beacon that continues to support sea traffic in the region.
The tower is accessed through a nearby residential area via an unpaved track and can be climbed using a metal ladder. Visitors should expect basic access conditions and simple pathways to reach the site.
The lighthouse emits regular light signals that can be seen up to 19 kilometers out to sea. This long-range visibility helps ships recognize the station and navigate safely from a considerable distance away.
