Veraval Lighthouse

About

Veraval Lighthouse is a prominent lighthouse located on the Arabian Sea near the historic port city of Veraval in Gujarat, India. Situated approximately 2.5 kilometers west of the Veraval harbor, the lighthouse stands as both a vital aid to maritime navigation and a symbol of the region's rich seafaring heritage. Originally established in the 19th century with a simple lamp system by British Raj, it has evolved into a fully modernized concrete structure equipped with advanced optics and automated lighting.
