About Cerro Pumpkin Lighthouse
Also known as: Cerro Pumpkin (Pumpkin Hill, Útila)
The Cerro Pumpkin lighthouse, erected in 2011, consists of a 14-meter tall square skeletal steel structure. Its focal plane is 17 meters above sea level. The tower displays red and white horizontal bands and shows a white flash each 9 seconds (Fl W 9s). Situated on Pumpkin Hill on Útila's northeast side, this marker was reconstructed in 2022. Access to the grounds is permitted, but climbing the tower is not.
Why it matters: This lighthouse identifies Pumpkin Hill on Útila's northeast coast, providing a reference for mariners navigating near landmass with sharp elevations and warning of potential grounding.
