Vizhinjam Lighthouse is a historic landmark located in the coastal town of Kovalam in the Indian state of Kerala. The lighthouse stands tall on a rocky cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea, offering breathtaking views of the coastline and the vast expanse of the ocean. The lighthouse was built in the early 20th century by the British and has since been an important navigation aid for ships and boats sailing along the coast.
The lighthouse is a cylindrical tower made of red and white bricks, standing at a height of 36 meters. It is equipped with a powerful light that can be seen from a distance of 28 nautical miles. The light emits a white flash every 15 seconds, making it easy for sailors to identify their location and navigate safely. The lighthouse is also equipped with a foghorn that is used during foggy weather to warn ships of the rocky coastline.
Visitors can climb up the spiral staircase inside the lighthouse to reach the top and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area. The climb is not for the faint-hearted as it involves climbing 142 steps, but the view from the top is worth the effort. From the top, visitors can see the entire Kovalam beach, the rocky coastline, and the vast expanse of the Arabian Sea.
The lighthouse is surrounded by a well-manicured garden that is perfect for a leisurely stroll. The garden is home to a variety of plants and flowers, and visitors can relax on the benches and enjoy the serene surroundings. The lighthouse is also a popular spot for photographers, who come to capture the stunning views of the sunset and the sea.
Overall, Vizhinjam Lighthouse is a must-visit attraction for anyone visiting Kovalam. It is a testament to the rich history and culture of the region and offers a unique perspective on the beauty of the coastline.
