About Isla Blanca Lighthouse
A cylindrical concrete tower built in 1971, the Isla Blanca lighthouse stands 7 meters tall. It is painted with red and white horizontal bands and lacks a lantern.

Its operational status ended around 2007, and it was removed from navigation lists in 2009. The nearest port is Chimbote, located 1.8 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse was important for vessels navigating into and out of the harbor at Chimbote.
