History of the Makarska Lighthouse
The Makarska Lighthouse was built in 1884 during the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Its main purpose was to guide ships safely into the Makarska harbor.
It was constructed using local stone, giving it strength and durability against sea weather. The lighthouse is located on the St. Peter Peninsula, at the entrance to the town's port. In its early years, it was operated by a lighthouse keeper and his family.
The keeper maintained the light manually and ensured it functioned in all weather conditions. This was a demanding and often lonely job, especially during storms.
The lighthouse helped establish Makarska as a safe port along the Adriatic coast.
Over the decades, the lighthouse witnessed many changes in maritime travel.
With technological advancements, the light became automated in the late 20th century. After automation, the keeper's house was no longer needed for residence.
Eventually, it was renovated and converted into a unique holiday accommodation.
Today, the lighthouse remains active and continues to help ships navigate the coast.
It has become one of Makarska’s most recognizable landmarks.
The lighthouse stands as a symbol of the town’s rich maritime heritage.

The container (cache) is located near the lighthouse.
You need to climb onto the rocks and look inside a crevice.
If needed, I’m attaching a spoiler for the cache.
Povijest svjetionika u Makarskoj
Svjetionik u Makarskoj izgrađen je 1884. godine za vrijeme Austro-Ugarske Monarhije. Njegova glavna svrha bila je omogućiti siguran ulazak brodova u makarsku luku. Građen je od lokalnog kamena, što mu daje čvrstoću i otpornost na vremenske uvjete. Nalazi se na poluotoku Sveti Petar, na ulazu u luku grada.
U prvim godinama njime je upravljao svjetioničar sa svojom obitelji.
Svjetioničar je ručno održavao svjetlo i brinuo se da radi u svim vremenskim uvjetima. To je bio zahtjevan i često usamljen posao, osobito za vrijeme nevremena.
Svjetionik je pomogao da Makarska postane sigurna luka na jadranskoj obali.
Tijekom desetljeća, svjetionik je svjedočio mnogim promjenama u pomorskom prometu. S razvojem tehnologije, svjetlo je krajem 20. stoljeća automatizirano.
Nakon automatizacije, kuća svjetioničara više nije bila potrebna za stanovanje.
S vremenom je renovirana i pretvorena u jedinstven turistički smještaj.
Danas je svjetionik još uvijek aktivan i pomaže brodovima u navigaciji.
Postao je jedan od najprepoznatljivijih simbola Makarske. Svjetionik stoji kao simbol bogate pomorske baštine grada.
