Mui Dinh Lighthouse

Mui Dinh Lighthouse is a historic coastal lighthouse located on Mui Dinh Cape in Phuoc Dinh Commune, Thuan Nam District, Khanh Hoa Province (formerly Ninh Thuan). Built in 1904 during the French colonial period, it stands at about 170 meters above sea level on a rocky headland. The lighthouse remains an active navigation aid and is notable for its isolated desert-coastal landscape, panoramic views of the East Sea, sand dunes and surrounding mountains.

Visitors can expect a remote coastal headland reached by a steep uphill walk of about 15-20 minutes from the parking area. The site features the white historic lighthouse tower, keeper's houses, and rocky cliffs overlooking the East Sea, Mui Dinh Beach, sand dunes and Trang Mountain. The area is arid and windswept with limited shade. Visitors can explore the lighthouse exterior, enjoy panoramic viewpoints for photography, and experience a quiet, undeveloped natural setting.

Built in 1904 by the French colonial administration to guide maritime traffic along the south-central coast of Vietnam. Positioned at approximately 170 meters above sea level, it is one of the oldest lighthouses in the region and continues to serve as an active aid to navigation.

Represents French colonial maritime heritage and remains an important navigational landmark for local fishing and coastal shipping, set within the distinctive arid coastal landscape of Phuoc Dinh.
