Lighthouse of the Week, April 28 - May 4, 2024: Ayada Marina, Maldives

 

I'll say this right up front: this isn't a real lighthouse. But it looks like one.  And it's in a great location, fortunately one that's not underwater yet.  

This is the Ayada Marina faux lighthouse, just off the island of Ayada in the Maldives.  That's here; the lighthouse is on the northeast side. You can't see it on the map, but if you look for the little channel into the square harbor, that's where it is. As you can see, above-water bungalows perfect for honeymooning are on the north end of the little island.

Since this isn't a real lighthouse, there's no actual data on it. Based on one picture with people next to it, I'd say it's 20-25 feet high. It doesn't have a light in it, but they do put a light on it. See below.

So, pictures below.
