Tokarevsky Lighthouse Tourism

Tokarevsky Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse situated at the entrance of the Eastern Bosphorus Strait in Vladivostok, Russia. Established in the early 20th century, the lighthouse stands on Tokarevskaya Koshka, a narrow and rocky spit extending into the Sea of Japan. This iconic structure is both a crucial navigational aid for ships and a popular sightseeing spot known for its picturesque setting. The lighthouse is accessible via a pathway that gets submerged during high tide, making it seem as though the lighthouse emerges directly from the sea. Visitors flock to Tokarevsky Lighthouse to witness the stunning views of the sunrise or sunset, and to enjoy the panoramic vista of the surrounding seascape. It is a symbol of Vladivostok and offers a glimpse into the maritime history of the region. As an operational lighthouse, Tokarevsky still serves its primary purpose of guiding vessels safely through the strait, while also being a reminder of the city’s strong connection to the sea.
