About Hotel Girasol Lighthouse
The Hotel Girasol lighthouse is located on a high-rise condominium building in Salinas, Ecuador. The structure has a white tower with red horizontal bands, reaching a height of 54 meters. The light source is situated 40 meters above sea level. This operating navigation marker produces a white flash every 5 seconds (Fl W 5s), with a geographic visibility range of 17.1 nautical miles. The building itself is a modern condominium. Access to the site is permitted, but the tower interior is closed to visitors. Salinas is the closest port, situated 0.3 kilometers from the light.
Why it matters: This light assists coastal navigation near Salinas, serving as a reference point for vessels entering or leaving the city's port area. Its location on top of a condominium building rather than a standalone structure distinguishes it as a landmark that combines maritime safety with the city's developed shoreline.
