About Isla Pajaros Lighthouse
This steel skeletal tower stands 7 meters tall on a small islet on the southeastern side of Arrecife Alacrán. Painted with red and white horizontal bands, its square pyramidal shape is visible from a distance. The focal height of the light is 8 meters above the water, emitting a white flash every 6 seconds. This structure provides a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles. Access to the islet is permitted, but the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Yukalpeten, 19.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The light warns vessels away from the southeastern side of the Arrecife Alacrán reef system, ensuring safe passage through this critical area.
