About Isla Villa Lighthouse
Isla Villa lighthouse is a 12-meter tall, square pyramidal skeletal tower constructed of metal and painted white. It stands on a large rock situated about 2.5 kilometers off the western coast of the Gulf, near Chitré, Panama. The light emanates from a focal height of 36 meters, displaying a single white flash every 18 seconds. This structure offers a geographic range of 16.4 nautical miles, guiding vessels in the waters of the Los Santos region. Its nearest port, Aguadulce, is located 21.4 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The Isla Villa light is essential for vessels navigating the western approaches to the Gulf near Chitré, warning them of the substantial rock it marks. Its white flashing signal helps define safe passage in an area where coastal features can be indistinct.
