About Cayo Blanco de Zaza Lighthouse
The Cayo Blanco de Zaza lighthouse is a white, square steel tower standing 12 meters tall, with a focal height of 15 meters. It is situated at the south end of a small cay, marking the entrance to the Río Tunas. The structure is a square white skeletal tower mounted on a platform supported by piles. This lighthouse was relocated from an offshore platform to its current position. In 2023, the lantern was missing, and the structure appeared abandoned. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides mariners approaching the Río Tunas. It was relocated from an offshore platform, demonstrating the adaptability of coastal infrastructure.
