First proposed in 1925 by Far East hydrographer B. V. Davydov as essential for shipping into the port of Okhotsk, construction was repeatedly postponed as the port failed to develop as expected and the lighthouse did not begin operating until 1956. It is a 34-meter cylindrical monolithic reinforced-concrete tower painted with black and white horizontal stripes, equipped with a circular radio beacon with a range of 150 miles, a nautophone, and an autonomous diesel-electric power station. The lighthouse shows a white flashing light visible to 20 miles, safeguarding shipping along the northwestern Okhotsk coast.

Из книги «Маяки России» (2001)
Источник: Комарицын А. А., Корякин В. И., Романов В. Г. «Маяки России (исторические очерки)». СПб.: ГУНиО МО РФ, 2001 (доп. тираж 2005).
Мыс Марекан, на котором в 1956 году установлен этот маяк, находится в северо-западной части Охотского моря, в 10 милях к востоку от Охотска (см. рис. на с. 122). Маяк обеспечивает безопасность плавания
судов на подходе к порту Охотск. “Лоция Охотского моря” сообщает, что берег этого мыса, выдающегося от материка к югу, ровный, гладкий, средней высоты; на равнине, идущей от мыса, находятся две небольшие отдельные горки, представляющиеся издали двумя островками, а за ними далее возвышается гора Марекан.
Инициатором строительства маяка на мысе был исследователь морей Дальнего Востока Б. В. Давыдов. В 1925 году, выступая на Втором совещании начальников и комиссаров Убеко всех морей, он отметил, что строительство этого маяка Убекодальвост считает своей важнейшей задачей, так как навигационное ограждение опасностей на подходах к портам, тем более к такому крупному как Охотск, должно способствовать развитию дальневосточного края. Однако решить эту задачу не удалось ни Давыдову, ни последующим начальникам Убеко — порт Охотск в 1930-е годы не получил того развития, на которое надеялся Давыдов, и строительство маяка из года в год откладывалось. Он начал действовать лишь в 1956 году. Строился маячный городок на средства совнархоза Магаданской области. В комплекс его навигационных средств входят: световой маяк, представляющий собой цилиндрическую башню высотой 34 м из монолитного железобетона, окрашенную черными и белыми горизонтальными полосами; круговой радиомаяк и наутофон. Аппаратура кругового радиомаяка с дальностью действия 150 миль установлена в маячно-техническом здании, где также смонтированы приборы управления наутофоном, звуковые излучатели наутофона находятся на специальной стальной башне, вынесенной к урезу воды. В этом же здании оборудована автономная дизель-электрическая станция, обеспечивающая электроэнергией все указанные навигационные средства, а также бытовые нужды обслуживающего персонала, для которого построены жилые дома. Маяк светит белым проблесковым огнем на расстояние до 20 миль и надежно обеспечивает навигационную безопасность плавания судов вдоль северо-западного побережья Охотского моря.
