Akmeņrags lighthouse, National industrial monument lighthouse in Saka Parish, Latvia.

The red brick lighthouse stands 38 meters tall on the Baltic Sea coast, featuring a cylindrical shape with a balcony and lantern at its summit.

Built in 1921 after World War I destroyed the original 1879 structure, the lighthouse continues its maritime safety mission on the Latvian coastline.

The lighthouse maintains a collection of local amber specimens in an open-air exhibition, representing the maritime traditions of the Baltic region.

Visitors can climb 126 steps to reach the observation deck, which offers views extending 18 nautical miles across the Baltic Sea.

The lighthouse marks one of the Baltic Sea's most dangerous areas, where a shallow stone bank extends 2 nautical miles northwest with water depths of 2 meters.
