Jaigad Lighthouse
जयगड दीपगृह
A British colonial-era lighthouse at the tip of the Jaigad headland, where visitors can climb the tower for views over the Arabian Sea and the river mouth.
The lighthouse was built in 1932 on the western tip of the Jaigad headland, on cliffs above black reef rocks battered by waves. It is open to visitors during fixed afternoon hours (around 16:00–18:00). A ticket gets you up the tower, where the top offers wide views of Jaigad Fort, the fishing harbor at the river mouth, and the open sea. Sunset is the best time to visit. If time is tight, combine it with Jaigad Fort and Karhateshwar Temple in the same afternoon.
Opening hours
Approx. 4:00–6:00 PM (fee)
