Vizhinjam Lighthouse
Vizhinjam Lighthouse, also known as Trivandrum Lighthouse, is a coastal navigation beacon situated near Kovalam Beach in Thiruvananthapuram district, Kerala. Commissioned on June 30, 1972, this 36-meter tall red and white striped structure stands on an elevated rocky headland above the Arabian Sea. The lighthouse replaced earlier day mark beacons that served the historic Vizhinjam port, which was a flourishing seaport during the 18th and 19th centuries.
