Cap Bon Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Nabeul Governorate, Tunisia
Cap Bon Lighthouse is a white tower standing on the Mediterranean coast in Nabeul Governorate that serves as a navigational guide for passing vessels. The structure emits regular light signals to help ships find their way safely along the coastline.
The lighthouse was built in the early 1900s and marked an important advancement in maritime safety along Mediterranean trade routes. Over the decades the facility has been updated to meet changing needs of modern shipping.
The lighthouse is woven into the daily life of local fishing communities who still use traditional boats and methods alongside modern equipment.
The lighthouse sits at the tip of Cap Bon peninsula and is most visible during clear weather when the white tower stands out from a distance. Visitors should expect windy conditions and wear sturdy footwear when exploring the area.
The lighthouse perches on one of Africa's easternmost points where visitors can stand at a place where Europe seems closest across the sea. This geographic feature makes Cap Bon a special spot for those fascinated by continental boundaries.
