In order to visit the lighthouse (located around 80km from Ventspils) you first need to visit Ziemupe. The lighthouse is the main adornment of Akmeņrags – just reach the top of the lighthouse and you will be able to see a fantastic view of the sea and the surrounding forests.
The lighthouse was built in 1868. The materials for construction were shipped across the sea from Liepāja, then handed over to shallow floating pontoons in Akmeņrags and thereby delivered to the trestles constructed in the offshore. The lighthouse tower was renewed in 1921. The tower with the lantern is 38 metres high.
