Dolphin's Nose Lighthouse

I recently visited the Dolphin’s Nose Lighthouse, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences in Visakhapatnam. The drive up the hill itself is beautiful, and once you reach the top, the view is absolutely stunning. You get a full panoramic look at the coastline, the port area, and the endless stretch of the Bay of Bengal. The lighthouse staff were friendly and guided visitors properly. Climbing to the top was smooth, and the breeze up there is something you can’t describe—you just have to feel it. It’s a perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy some quiet time away from the city crowd.

Very nice and peaceful place on the mountains away from the city. Lovely ride to this place which is only open between 3-5pm, luckily reached 5 minutes before closing, ticket was cheap and view was scenic, felt like the edge of the world - dangerously high! Port is visible from there- beautiful over all😍🤩😎

We visited this place while on the way to Yarada Beach and were slightly disappointed as the lighthouse tower was closed to visitors due to maintenance work for the All India Lighthouse Celebration, scheduled for two weeks. However, we were still able to enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the entire bay along with the ship docking ports. Make sure to carry your Aadhaar card for entry, as this is a Navy-controlled area. Since the place is open only from 3 PM to 5 PM, plan your visit accordingly. The location is well maintained and offers a calm, relaxing atmosphere atop Dolphin Hill. The drive to this spot passes through the HPCL plant, adding a scenic vibe to the journey. To wrap up the trip perfectly, visit Yarada Beach afterward for a refreshing end ✨️

This is located in a restricted area, so suggest you to come here from your own vechile or rental vechile, don't come from uber/ola as it's very difficult to find vechiles here. There is an okayish place, yes the view is amazing but this place is skipable as you will hardly spend 10-15min here. 10 rupees entry ticket is there.

Situated near the Indian Navy base camp the Dolphin nose light House is a really good place to be add on while visiting Vizag. There was no entry fee. The view from the light House is amazing. One can see the Bay of Bengal and it looks so soothing. There are certain rules and regulations while visiting. And you may need to wait for 10-15min as the visiting is like batch wise. And mind your head while going above the light House stairs. Overall a good experience. 🏮

Perched high above the Bay of Bengal, the Dolphin’s Nose Lighthouse stands as a symbol of guidance, strength, and serenity. 🌊 From here, the vast ocean stretches endlessly, and the rhythmic sound of waves meeting the cliffs feels like nature’s own heartbeat. Beautiful place. Must visit this place...

A primary functional lighthouse along eastern coast of India. Opens 3pm to 5pm for public. Very busy. One needs to climb up stairs upto 2 floors, then a narrow steep ladder to top of lighthouse hosting the stunning optic inside and breathtaking views outside. Ticket price only 10/-, 20/- for camera

A fantastic place! This was my first visit to a working lighthouse, and it was truly fascinating. Do note that it’s open only for a short two-hour window, so it’s best to reach around 2:30 PM, as ticket sales start from 3 PM onwards. The climb inside can be challenging for elderly visitors since the stairs are steep and narrow, but we were fortunate to be in the first batch. The bird’s-eye view from the top is absolutely mesmerizing and makes the effort worthwhile. A must-visit spot if you’re in Vizag for the first time!
