Galle Lighthouse sits on the fort’s seafront, offering classic composition views of the Indian Ocean, Dutch-era ramparts, and the landmark beam over the harbor. Best light is during sunrise (soft, low-angle glow) and late afternoon (warm sky, longer shadows). The fort is walkable from Galle Fort; check opening access locally—hours can vary.
