About Isla Cotorra Lighthouse
Also known as: Isla Cotorra (Punta Barrial)
Isla Cotorra Lighthouse is a 12-meter-high cylindrical fiberglass tower located at the northern tip of Isla Cotorra, within Venezuela's Delta Amacuro State. Painted with alternating orange and white horizontal bands, it stands 14 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a single white flash every 10 seconds, with a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. It marks the entrance to the Serpent's Mouth strait in the Gulf of Paria, between Venezuela and Trinidad. This light has been inactive since 2021.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's position was key for navigating the Serpent's Mouth strait, a passage that connects the Gulf of Paria to the Atlantic Ocean.
