The Kaavi lighthouse is located on Saaremaa island on the Sõrve peninsula on the southeast coast of the Gulf of Riga. In 1954 the concrete lighthouse in height 15 m was established. It was red from above and below and white in the middle. The light height was 20 m over the sea, visibility 9 miles, light characteristic: Fl W 2,5; 1,0 + 1,5 = 2,5 s. Since 1966 the lighthouse visibility was 6 miles. In 1994 the lighthouse was repaired. Today the lighthouse is low, because of the forest and it needs modernizations.
