About Gran Puerto de Cancún Lighthouse
The Gran Puerto de Cancún lighthouse was built in 2005 and is operational. This cylindrical tower, 12 meters tall, is painted with red and white horizontal bands. It features a lantern and gallery, with its light positioned 58 meters above sea level. The white light flashes once every 20 seconds, providing a 19.8-nautical-mile range. The lighthouse is situated on the waterfront in Puerto Juárez, a district of Cancún, near a ferry terminal serving Isla Mujeres. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for the safe navigation of ferries that operate on the busy route between Cancún and Isla Mujeres.
