Agatti Lighthouse

Agatti Lighthouse is a coastal navigational lighthouse located on the southern tip of Agatti Island in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, India. Operated by the Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships, it guides vessels navigating the Arabian Sea around the Lakshadweep archipelago. The white tower offers panoramic views of the lagoon, coral reefs and surrounding islands and is a notable landmark for visitors to Agatti.

Visitors can expect a white reinforced concrete lighthouse tower situated near the coastline surrounded by coconut palms and sandy terrain. The site offers views of the Agatti lagoon, turquoise waters, coral reefs and nearby uninhabited islands. Access is typically to the lighthouse premises and, when permitted, to the gallery at the top via internal stairs. The surroundings are quiet and scenic, suitable for sightseeing and photography.

Agatti Lighthouse is maintained by the Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships and serves as an important aid to navigation for vessels in the Arabian Sea around the Lakshadweep Islands. It is part of the network of lighthouses established to support safe maritime navigation along India's western coast and island territories.
