About Frailes del Sur Lighthouse
The Frailes del Sur lighthouse stands on a remote, rocky islet located about 25 kilometers southwest of Punta Mala. This concrete structure features a pyramidal tower, painted white, standing 12 meters tall with a focal height of 20 meters. It emits a single red flash every 4 seconds, visible for a geographic range of 13.2 nautical miles. The lighthouse guides vessels through the waters surrounding the islet, a hazard in this area. A former keeper's house is now in ruins near the tower.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of the rocky islet it occupies, aiding navigation southwest of Punta Mala.
