It is the only lighthouse on the Polish coast built after the Second World War.
The original lighthouse intended for this location was constructed in 1938 but was destroyed by Polish sappers in 1939 to prevent it from being used by invading German forces.
The lighthouse is completely automated and lacks a permanent live-in lighthouse keeper.
The lantern room is mounted on a slender, metal-reinforced concrete cylinder.
It is frequently excluded from tourist lighthouse trails because interior access is prohibited for safety and security reasons.
Jastarnia Lighthouse is an active navigational aid located on the Hel Peninsula in Poland. Built in 1950, it stands 13.5 meters high and features a distinct white-and-red cylindrical tower design. It is one of the smallest lighthouses on the Polish Baltic coast. Unlike many other Polish lighthouses, it is not open to the public for climbing. The structure is part of the Maritime Office in Gdynia's network of aids to navigation. It serves as a visual marker for mariners navigating the Puck Bay and the Baltic Sea. The lighthouse is situated in a residential area of Jastarnia, surrounded by pine forests.
