About Funchal Breakwater Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower, standing 6 meters tall, is located at the end of the breakwater in Funchal's chief port on Madeira's south coast. It is painted with red and white horizontal bands. The light, situated 15 meters above sea level, emits a red flash every 5 seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The lighthouse is situated just 0.2 kilometers from the nearest port facilities in Funchal.
Why it matters: The Funchal Breakwater lighthouse clearly marks the end of the breakwater, guiding maritime traffic into Madeira's principal port.
