The  Lighthouse is easily approachable by road from Mundra Town.A port was established at Mundra mainly for the export of salt and dates. It was an important port of call for the vessels coming from Muscat, Aden and Zanzibar. The port used to remain inoperative from May to September every year. As such this new port was developed at sheltered location inside the Mundra Creek for round the year operations. The new port at the present location was built during 1950-51.

Navinal point Lighthouse is approachable by a Departmental machine boat through the creek from Mundra port through the Creek. There is a pucca road connecting Mundra Port to Mundra Town. A land route to Navinal point Lighthouse through Adani port Area is also available since 1996.

An approach light of 3-mile range was provided on a Trestle tower at the Jetty head in 1951. It was an oil lamp. It was improved in 1957. A 200 mm equipment with AGA flasher working on DA gas was installed in 1961 replacing the oil lamp equipment. In 1965 an RCC column was constructed over which the DA gas light was shifted. The Lighthouse structure got damaged in course of time due to the heavy rusting. A new column and a service hut was constructed in 1985 and 300 mm  DA equipment (AGA) was installed over the new column.

The DA gas burner was replaced by Halogen lamp, with electronic flasher (JLWL) working on solar energy and was commissioned on 7th May 1993.      .
