Description

Vijayadurg Light is shown from a white steel tower with red horizontal bands on the NE corner of the fort. Vijayadurg, a small village, is situated about 0.8 mile S of the light.

Anchorage can be taken in about 0.5 mile NNE of Vijayardurg Light, in 8m, mud.

The coast between Vijayadurg Harbor and Devgarh Harbor, about 10 miles S, is fairly regular, although entered by numerous streams and creeks. Steep, abrupt cliffs are fronted by sandy beaches and coves.
The land behind the cliffs is flat, but farther inland it rises to bare rocky hills with no vegetation except in the rainy season.
