About Isla San Martín Lighthouse
A square pyramidal skeletal tower with a gallery stands on the southwest cliff of Isla San Martín, a volcanic island located approximately 6.5 km from the Mexican coast. Constructed from concrete, this 10.5-meter tall structure displays black and yellow banding. Its light emits white flashes on a 12-second cycle, visible for 18.5 nautical miles. The lighthouse rises to a focal height of 49 meters above the sea. It serves as a navigational aid from its position on this remote island.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of the volcanic Isla San Martín, an offshore hazard that rises abruptly from the sea, guiding vessels along coastal shipping lanes.
