Thinnakara Lighthouse

Thinnakara Lighthouse is a navigational light located on Thinnakara, an uninhabited coral island in Lakshadweep, India. Situated in the Arabian Sea near Agatti and Bangaram islands, it guides vessels navigating the archipelago. The island is known for its white sandy beaches, clear lagoon and coconut groves. Access is only by boat with a valid Lakshadweep entry permit, and the lighthouse is typically visited as part of regulated island-hopping excursions from Agatti.

Visitors can expect a small lighthouse structure on a flat, uninhabited coral island surrounded by a shallow lagoon and white sand beaches. The setting is remote and natural with no permanent settlement, offering open views of the Arabian Sea, lagoon and neighboring Bangaram and Agatti islands. Access is by chartered boat from Agatti, and visits are usually brief, focused on sightseeing, photography and beach walks around the lighthouse area.
