Lighthouse · 1933
Manilaid lighthouse
At Papina otsa, the south-western tip of Manilaid island in Pärnu county, stands a small white concrete lighthouse with a red lantern, built in 1933, with Kihnu visible across the water. Its light is split into ten coloured sectors, yellow, red and green, to guide boats on two routes at once: from Munalaid harbour to Kihnu, and from the Kihnu strait into Pärnu bay. The sea kept creeping closer, so in 2015 the whole tower was moved 20 metres further from the waterline.

Pärnumaal Manilaiu edelatipus Papina otsal seisab 1933. aastal ehitatud väike valge punase laternaruumiga betoontuletorn, kust paistab üle vee Kihnu. Selle tuli on jagatud kümneks kollaseks, punaseks ja roheliseks sektoriks, et juhatada laevu korraga kahel teel: Munalaiu sadamast Kihnule ning Kihnu väinast Pärnu lahte. Meri tungis aina lähemale ja 2015. aastal nihutati kogu torn veepiirist 20 meetrit kaugemale.
