About Bahía Bustamante Lighthouse
The Bahía Bustamante lighthouse is a square skeletal tower standing 6 meters tall, situated atop a steep bluff approximately 400 meters south of the village of Bahía Bustamante. Originally intended to carry a daymark panel with red and white chevrons, this marking was absent in a 2008 photograph. The light emits a white flash every 10 seconds from a focal height of 102 meters, with a geographic range of 25.1 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, although the tower itself is closed to visitors. The lighthouse is located in the Chubut region of Argentina.
Why it matters: The active light from Bahía Bustamante serves as a visual reference for local maritime traffic navigating the coastal waters near the village, aiding safe passage.
