About Boca de Santo Domingo Lighthouse
A 20-meter cylindrical concrete tower marks the entrance to the Boca de Santo Domingo estuary, north of the town of Santo Domingo. This structure, painted with red and white horizontal bands, first became operational in 2018. It replaced a previous 10-meter concrete tower, enhancing navigational support in the area. The lighthouse emits a white light with a characteristic of a single white flash every 12 seconds, visible for 13.8 nautical miles. The grounds are open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is San Carlos, located approximately 42.1 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels into the estuary north of Santo Domingo, serving as a modern visual aid that replaced an older, less capable structure.
