Lighthouse Point

Also known as: Limanağzı – the lighthouse · Lighthouse · Fener · Lighthouse Reef

The lighthouse site lies just across from Kaş harbour on the sheltered east side of Cape İnce Burun, which protects the boat from the chop that is common on the outer side. Heading east along the bottom leads to the so-called Ottoman wreck at about 23 metres, where an eroded wooden keel and frames remain beside an intact clay jar. From the lighthouse point a reef slopes very gently northwest to around 30 metres and is rich in life, which also makes it a favourite night dive. A nearby fish farm keeps the area busy with groupers, moray eels, barracuda, sea hares and loggerhead turtles. The C-47 Dakota plane wreck lies in the same area and is listed as its own site.
