The Vengurla lighthouse stands on a headland above the fishing jetty, giving views north along the Konkan coast and south toward the Goa border. On a clear day you can see the Vengurla Rocks (the Burnt Islands) offshore and trace the curve of the coast toward Redi Point and beyond.
The lighthouse is managed by the Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships and is technically open to visitors during limited hours. The real draw is the walk up to it and the views from the headland — the approach takes you past the fishing jetty where the catch comes in each morning, and the promontory itself is one of the best vantage points in the area.
