The Jastarnia lighthouse is a contemporary Polish lighthouse located in the city of Jastarnia in the Puck district (Pomeranian Voivodeship) on the coast of the Baltic Sea on the Hel Peninsula. The first lighthouse in Jastarnia was erected in 1938, but it only survived for a year and was destroyed during the war in 1939. The new lighthouse was built after the end of World War II - in 1950. The lighthouse tower is only 13.5 meters high, which makes it the lowest building of this type on the Polish coast. It was also erected as an all-metal structure, which is unique among Polish lighthouses - the only other active structure of this type with such a structure is the lighthouse in Osetnik. Currently, the lighthouse is fully automated. The range of its white light is 15 nautical miles (NM), or about 28 kilometers. At present, the administrator of the facility is the Maritime Office in Gdynia, and despite the fact that the lighthouse is not available to visitors, it is one of the important tourist attractions of the city of Jastarnia.

The Hel lighthouse is a Polish lighthouse located in the city of Hel in the Puck district (Pomeranian Voivodeship), on the coast of the Baltic Sea, at the very end of the Hel Peninsula. The modern lighthouse in Hel was built by the Germans in 1942, and its predecessor, built in 1826, was destroyed by Polish sappers during the September campaign, because it was a great landmark for German ships operating in this area. The entire lighthouse tower is made of brick, and its height is 41.5 meters. Until 2013, the light of the lighthouse was at an altitude of 40.8 meters above sea level. In March this year, the height was reduced to 39 meters above sea level. The range of the light it casts is 17 nautical miles (NM), or approx. 31.5 kilometers. It is worth adding that in 2001 the lighthouse underwent a deep renovation, and in 2003 the shore radar of the VTS Ship Traffic Control System was installed on it.
