The Lighthouse is easily approachable by road from Mundra Town. A port was established at Mundra mainly for the export of salt and dates. It was an important port of call for the vessels coming from Muscat, Aden and Zanzibar.The port used to remain inoperative from May to September every year. As such this new port was developed at sheltered location inside the Mundra Creek for round the year operations. The new port at the present location was built during 1950-51.
