    Muttom Point Lighthouse is located above at 17Km from Nagercoil 32 Km Kanyakumari, and 73 Km Thiruvananthapuram. Chola, Chera and Pandya, the three important Dynasties those ruled south India for a long time had proved their sovereignty in maritime trade. The land required for the construction of lighthouse was given by Travancore Kingdom free of cost. A white painted 20m high octagonal stone masonry tower was erected on the Muttom hillock and the light was commissioned in September 1875. For improvement of light, a 14.6 meters high new stone tower with black and white horizontal bands was erected in the same position and the light started functioning from it on 1st January 1883

    Directorate of Lighthouses and Lightships established a Heritage Lighthouse Maritime Museum at Muttom point on 19th November, 2017. The museum is set to pass valuable information about the history of navigation,trade and evolution of lights and lighthouses. While replicas of Sailing ships,steamers, Naval and Coast guard ships provide information about the vessels in the past, different types of illuminants used in lighthouses from Wick lamps to LED lights will teach about the evolution of lamps.
