O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Toranj je visok 36 metara i stoji na brdu s pogledom i na luku ribarskog sela i na otvoreno Arapsko more, sa 144 stepenika do lanternika. Svjetionik je upaljen 1972. godine, ali su stijene ispod njega primale brodove već prije otprilike dvije hiljade godina.
Istaknuto: Pogled s vrha klizi od lučno oblikovanog pijeska plaže Kovalam na istoku do šarenih ribarskih čamaca stare luke na zapadu, panorame koja se neprestano mijenja kako se svjetlost kreće. Lampa svijetli 26 nautičkih milja u more, a kad padne veče lako je naslutiti vatre koje su stražari nekada palili na istoj stijeni prije hiljada godina.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear comfortable shoes and preferably long trousers, the spiral staircase is narrow and steep.
- Photograph from the lawn below with the tower against the sea, and take the top for evening light over the coastline.
- Avoid the middle of the day when the heat and haze make visibility poor from the viewing platform.
- Combine the visit with a walk out onto the fishing harbor pier to see the day's catch coming in.
