İğneada Lighthouse, Maritime navigation aid in İğneada, Turkey

The white lighthouse structure rises 8 meters above ground level with a focal height of 44 meters over the Black Sea waters.

French engineers constructed this maritime beacon in 1866 during Sultan Abdülmecit's reign to enhance navigation safety along Turkey's northern coast.

The General Directorate of Coastal Safety maintains this lighthouse, which guides vessels through the Black Sea with two white flashes every 15 seconds.

Located at coordinates 41.8847449 latitude and 28.0562174 longitude, the lighthouse projects its beam across a range of 20 nautical miles.

The lighthouse stands near a 22-kilometer beach where the dense forests of İğneada Longoz National Park meet the Black Sea waters.
