Even though Now there is no proper road to lead you to the beach shore, you can reach easily by walking some meters from lighthouse. Little bit rough beach. For the guidance of boats, there are two platforms placed with big rocks. While walking upon the rocks you should be careful, as it's uneven surfaces will make you to fall. The view from the tip of the platform is wonderful. A good place for photoshoot, as not many people will be there. If you visiting this old beach, you should return before it's get dark. Especially when you walking upon the rocks in dark time is really very hard. A must visit place. Go for it and have wonderful time.
纳卡帕蒂南灯塔守护着位于坦米尔纳德邦孟加拉湾沿岸的卡杜维亚鲁河口。这个重要的港口可以追溯到乔拉王朝时期的海上贸易。
第一个正式的灯塔结构——一座20米高的砖石塔——是由英国人在1846年建造的。随着时间的推移,它进行了升级,尤其是在1870年和1923年。
目前的塔:高50米,圆形砖石结构,涂有黑白相间的条纹,顶部有红色灯笼。焦点面高度为海平面以上48米。每20秒闪烁两道白光,最远可视范围约为26海里。
