One of the northernmost lighthouses of Primorye. Located in the village of Amgu, Terneysky district, on the shores of the Sea of Japan...
The fourteen-meter brick tower of the lighthouse rises above the high rocky shore of the cape of the same name. The conditional southern border of the waters of the Tatar Strait begins here. The lighthouse ensures the safety of navigation on the sea route between Nikolaevsk-on-Amur and Vladivostok. It is interesting that on the very first maps of this area, the rock protruding into the sea was called Cape Disappointment; for observers from the sea, this cape was visually represented as the southern edge of a large bay jutting into the mainland, which in fact was just a vast delta of three rivers merging together.
The cape was described in 1874 by members of a special expedition of the Irkutsk Department of the General Staff and named after one of its participants - centurion of the Transbaikal Cossack Army, military topographer and court adviser, researcher of the Primorsky region Zakhar Makarovich Belkin.
The fourteen-meter lighthouse tower has stood on the rocky shore of Cape Belkin since 1915. The height of the fire above sea level is 96 meters. Despite its remoteness from civilization, the Belkin lighthouse is one of the oldest lighthouses in Primorye.
The first navigation sign for the fence was placed here back in 1899 - a white wooden sign in the form of a triangular prism 13 meters high was installed at an altitude of 90 meters above sea level.
The lighthouse's birthday was September 6, 1915; on this day the lighthouse was turned on for the first time.

Один из самых северных маяков Приморья. Находится в поселке Амгу Тернейского района, на берегу Японского моря...
Четырнадцатиметровая кирпичная башня маяка высится над высоким скалистым берегом одноименного мыса. Имеено здесь начинается условная южная граница вод Татарского пролива. Маяк обеспечивает безопасность судовождения на морском пути между Николаевском-на-Амуре и Владивостоком. Интересно, что на самых первых картах этого района выступающая в море скала называлась мыс Разочарования- для наблюдателей с моря этот мыс визуально представлялся южным краем большой, вдающейся в материк бухты, что на самом деле являлось всего лишь обширной дельтой слившихся вместе трех рек.
Мыс описан в 1874 году участниками особой экспедицией Иркутского отдела Генерального штаба и назван по имени одного из её участников- сотника Забайкальского казачьего войска, военного топографа и надворного советника, исследователя Приморской области Захара Макаровича Белкина.
Четырнадцатиметровая башня маяка высится на скалистом берегу мыса Белкина с 1915 года. Высота огня над уровнем моря- 96 метров. Несмотря на свою отдаленность от цивилизации маяк Белкина один из старейших маяков Приморья.
Первый навигационный знак ограждения поставили здесь еще в 1899 году-деревянный знак белого цвета в виде треугольной призмы в 13 метров высоты установили на высоте 90 метров над уровнем моря.
Днем рождения маяка стало 6 сентября 1915 года- в этот день прошло певрое включение маяка.
