About Ilôt du Nord Lighthouse
The Ilôt du Nord lighthouse is a square skeletal tower with a height of 15 meters. Its focal plane reaches 44 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 17.7 nautical miles. The light emits a single white flash every 10 seconds. This structure stands on a rocky islet off Ras Ciress, near Ksar al Majaz. The original light had an 11-meter focal plane. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed to the public. Its nearest port is Tanger Med, located 0.5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels of the rocky islet it marks off Ras Ciress, a significant navigational hazard. Its remote location and limited accessibility make it a notable landmark on the Moroccan coast.
