Cayeux-sur-Mer lighthouse, Heritage lighthouse in Cayeux-sur-Mer, France.

The maritime tower stands 28 meters high on the Channel coast, directing vessels with its signal light through the Somme Bay waters.

The current lighthouse opened in September 1951, replacing the former structure destroyed during military operations in World War II in 1944.

The lighthouse forms part of France's maritime navigation system and holds recognition in the general inventory of cultural heritage.

Visitors can observe the green and white lighthouse structure at the southern entrance of Somme Bay, marking the navigation channel.

The lighthouse guides ships near Cayeux-sur-Mer, where Europe's longest boardwalk extends 2 kilometers with 400 beach cabins.
