The New Lighthouse, also known as the Lighthouse View Point in Pondicherry, is an important coastal landmark located
near the Bay of Bengal. Constructed in 1979, it was built to replace the old lighthouse and to provide better navigation
facilities for ships sailing along the eastern coast of India. The tall cylindrical structure stands prominently against
the skyline and serves as a guiding beacon for maritime traffic.

The lighthouse is equipped with modern lighting and navigation systems that help ensure the safety of vessels
passing through the region. Its powerful beam can be seen from a considerable distance, especially at night.
Over the years, it has played a significant role in supporting marine transportation and coastal safety in Puducherry.

Today, the New Lighthouse is not only a functional maritime structure but also a popular attraction for visitors.
Tourists can climb to the top to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the sea, the city, and the surrounding landscape.
The refreshing sea breeze and scenic beauty make it a memorable experience for those exploring Pondicherry.
