The Petropavlovsky lighthouse is situated on Cape Mayachny 12 km away from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The history of the lighthouse started with the developing of Kamchatka: it was first mentioned on the maps of 1740. At first it was just a wooden cabin with a bonfire serving as a signal for ships. Later a shelter for the crew was added. In 1850, the lighthouse was called “The Dalny” (Remote), and the cape was named Cape Mayachny (Lighthouse). In 1897 the lighthouse was newly rebuilt using cast iron and renamed into Petropavlovsky. It still looks like that and operates.
From the cape you’ll see the panorama of Avacha bay, domestic volcanoes Avachinsky, Koryaksky and Kozelsky at their finest and “The Three Brothers” rocks — a symbol of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
Meeting of participants
We meet at the appointed place with the rest of the group, check the gear and take the journey. For an additional fee we can arrange transfer from the hotel, ask for details when booking the tour.
We drive by several bays, the most interesting is Big Lagernaya. It is surrounded by rocks inhabited by sea birds, Devil’s Thumb rock towers in the distance, and there are remains of an abandoned settlement on the shore.
Excursion to the lighthouse
We reach the observation deck “The Edge of the World” at the cape to enjoy the scenery: the panorama of the bay, majestic volcanoes and “The Three Brothers” rocks.
