Dwarka Lighthouse

Dwarka Lighthouse is a 43-metre tall coastal lighthouse located near Dwarka Beach in Devbhoomi Dwarka district, Gujarat. Situated close to the Dwarkadhish Temple and the Arabian Sea coast, it serves as an active navigational aid. Built in 1962, it is notable for its black and white striped tower and panoramic views of the Dwarka coastline, Dwarka town and the sea from its lantern gallery.

Visitors can expect a tall black-and-white striped lighthouse tower near the Arabian Sea coast. After purchasing a ticket, visitors climb a spiral staircase of over 100 steps to reach the lantern gallery at the top. From the gallery, there are panoramic views of Dwarka town, Dwarka Beach, the Arabian Sea and on clear days, distant temples and coastline. The surrounding area is open and coastal with sea breeze, and the site is primarily for sightseeing and photography.

The present Dwarka Lighthouse was constructed in 1962 and commissioned to guide maritime traffic along the Gujarat coast of the Arabian Sea. The 43-metre masonry tower replaced an earlier navigational light in the region and remains an active aid to navigation under the Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships, with a light visible up to about 28 nautical miles.

While primarily a navigational structure, the lighthouse has become a recognized tourist viewpoint in the pilgrimage town of Dwarka, offering visitors a coastal perspective of the town associated with Lord Krishna and the Dwarkadhish Temple. It is a popular sightseeing stop for pilgrims and tourists visiting Dwarka's religious and coastal attractions.
