Lighthouse

Description

Alleppey (Alappuzha) lies about 29 miles S of Kochi (Cochin. The coast between the ports is low, sandy, thickly fringed with palms, and densely populated.

Alleppey Light is shown from a white, round, masonry tower, about 0.3 mile E of the root of Alleppey Pier. As the town of Alleppey is  difficult to distinguish from seaward, it is advisable to make a landfall while it is still dark to ensure identifying the lighthouse.
