The Gustavia Lighthouse is a 20th-century lighthouse located in Gustavia, the capital of Saint Barthélemy in the French West Indies. It was constructed in 1961 on the grounds of Fort Gustav, overlooking the Gustavia harbor.[1]
Today the lighthouse is a popular location for tourists, hikers, and photographers,[1][2] as well as a site for viewing regattas, such as the St Barths Bucket Regatta.[3][4]
