About Corumbau Lighthouse
Also known as: Corumbau (Ponta Corumbau)
The Corumbau Lighthouse, built in 1923, is a square concrete tower standing 12 meters tall. It is painted white and its light is 15 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a single white flash every 10 seconds, with a geographic range of 11.9 nautical miles. This structure marks the tip of a sharp promontory located about 13 kilometers south of Caraiva. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed to visitors. Its nearest major port is Porto Seguro, which is 26.8 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of the sharp promontory it occupies south of Caraiva, aiding safe passage along this section of the Brazilian coast.
