Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a tall white lighthouse tower situated near the coastline at Hut Bay, surrounded by coconut plantations and coastal vegetation. The site offers views of Hut Bay Jetty, Butler Bay and the Bay of Bengal. Access is typically to the exterior and, when permitted, to the viewing gallery via internal stairs. The surroundings are quiet and coastal, with the lighthouse serving as a functional navigational aid rather than a developed tourist complex.
