Meganom lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Cape Meganom, Crimea.

Leuchtturm Meganom stands at the southern tip of Cape Meganom, a navigational structure on the Black Sea coast of Crimea. The lighthouse was moved to a more suitable location after being damaged during the Second World War. Its light-optical device was converted from a gas burner to electric power in 1959, and external power with a backup flashing light was added in the 1980s.

A decree of 29 May 1895 established the post of keeper of the Meganom lighthouse on the Black Sea, and the light entered service on 15 September 1895. It was damaged during the Second World War and later moved to a more suitable spot. In 1959 the gas burner was removed and the optical apparatus switched to electric current; in the 1980s external power was connected and a standby flashing light installed.

The lighthouse is a waypoint on the 22nd stage of the Great Crimean Trail, a long-distance hiking route, and the southern tip of Cape Meganom draws hikers and tourists. Russian-language media have called it Crimea's most mystical lighthouse, and the Kerch district counts 13 lighthouses in all.

The lighthouse stands at the very southern tip of Cape Meganom, reached on foot along the final stretch of stage 22 of the Great Crimean Trail. The surrounding terrain is dry and exposed, so carry water and windproof clothing; the walk back is unshaded.

The lighthouse marks stage 22 of the Great Crimean Trail, a long-distance hiking route that passes directly by the tower at the southern tip of Cape Meganom. Russian media have called it the most mystical lighthouse in Crimea, and a 2019 RIA Novosti Krym article asked who sets course by it.
