Boca de Soledad Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Boca de Soledad Lighthouse
Also known as: Boca de Soledad (?)
A cylindrical concrete tower, 10 meters in height, stands painted white at Boca de Soledad. Its focal plane is also 10 meters above sea level, casting a white light with a single flash every 16 seconds. This structure replaced an earlier skeletal tower at the entrance to an estuary north of Matancitos. However, severe beach erosion poses a significant threat to the site, with the lighthouse's location now submerged. This environmental pressure has likely led to the tower's destruction.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marked the entrance to an estuary north of Matancitos, a critical navigational point for local shipping, and its probable destruction highlights the threat of beach erosion to coastal aids to navigation.
