About Fajã Grande Lighthouse
A 5-meter metal mast, painted with red and white horizontal bands, stands on a square concrete base. It is equipped with a small square cabinet for its apparatus. The light emits a white flash every 10 seconds. This navigational aid is located on the waterfront of Fajã Grande, the westernmost village in the Azores, situated on the central west coast of Flores Island. The structure's focal height reaches 8 meters above sea level.
Why it matters: This light is essential for local mariners approaching the waterfront of Fajã Grande, particularly for fishing boats and smaller vessels. It marks the westernmost settlement in the Azores, defining the approach to the remote harbor on Flores Island.
