About Ilha de Tinharé Lighthouse Lighthouse
The Ilha de Tinharé Lighthouse, built of stone and painted white, stands 26 meters tall with its lantern and gallery. This cylindrical tower was constructed in 1885 on the northeastern tip of Ilha de Tinharé, an island resort located about 80 kilometers southwest of Salvador. Its light is visible for nearly 24 nautical miles, emitting a white flash every 15 seconds. The lighthouse occupies a site uphill from 17th-century fort ruins. While the tower is not open to visitors, the grounds are accessible.
Why it matters: This active lighthouse is important for vessels navigating the northeastern tip of Ilha de Tinharé, including the numerous ferries serving the popular resort island.
