Dolphin's Nose Lighthouse Tourism

Dolphin's Nose Lighthouse is an iconic lighthouse located in Visakhapatnam (Vizag), Andhra Pradesh, India. Perched atop a hill at 358 feet above sea level, it is situated on a rocky promontory called Dolphin's Nose, due to its resemblance to the snout of a dolphin. This strategic point not only guides ships at sea but also offers breathtaking views of the vast Bay of Bengal. Established in 1941, the lighthouse has been a sentinel guiding vessels with its piercing beam, which has a range of 64 km. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase inside the lighthouse to reach the observation deck, which provides a panoramic vista of the city, the sea, and the surrounding landscape. The area also has a serene environment, making it an ideal spot for photographers and nature lovers. The lighthouse is surrounded by lush greenery and rugged terrain, enhancing its scenic beauty. The powerful beacon of the lighthouse serves as a navigation aid for mariners and is a landmark of the coastline of Vizag.
