Holbox Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Holbox Lighthouse
The Holbox lighthouse is a 9-meter tall, white, square pyramidal skeletal tower with a gallery. It stands on a metal structure, with its light positioned 11 meters above sea level. The tower emits a white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 10.7 nautical miles. Located directly off the beach in downtown Holbox, Quintana Roo, this operational aid is near the Yum Balam Nature Reserve. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse aids local navigation, especially for fishing boats and tourist vessels operating in the shallow waters near the Holbox shoreline.
