Lighthouse 1942 (modern station established 1827). Active; focal plane
41 m; white light, 5 s on, 5 s off. 40 m octagonal tower with lantern
and gallery, painted red. This lighthouse marks the end of the Hel
peninsula (Mierzeja Helska), a crucial point of reference for ships
entering the Gulf of Gdańsk (Zatoka Gdańska). Lights were displayed in
this area in the 17th century, including lights in a church tower as
early as the 16th century. Lighthouses were buolt nearby in 1670 and
1790. Lighthouse was blown up by Polish forces in September 1939, at the
start of World War II. In 1989 the tower was equipped with a radar
antenna atop the lantern, and now the gallery is crowded with
communications equipment. Located at the end of highway 216, about 72 km
southeast of Władysławowo.
