About Imbituba Lighthouse
The Imbituba Lighthouse stands on a bluff on a hook-shaped peninsula that shelters the harbor at Imbituba, Brazil. The current square, pyramidal masonry tower, standing 7 meters tall, was built in 1918. It houses a service room below a gallery from which the light operates, rather than a traditional lantern. The focal height is 69 meters. The active light emits white flashes every 15 seconds, visible for over 21 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels into Imbituba's harbor, marking the entrance past the peninsula's natural contours. Its unique design, featuring the light on a gallery, is architecturally noteworthy.
