About La Figueirette Lighthouse
Also known as: La Figueirette (Port de Miramar)
The La Figueirette lighthouse stands on the breakwater of the marina at Miramar, south of Théoule-sur-Mer. Constructed of concrete, the hexagonal tower rises 10 meters from a platform supported by six piles. This platform sits above a single-story equipment shelter. The structure is painted white with a green band at its top. It emits three white and green flashes every 12 seconds, with a focal height of 12 meters. The lighthouse has a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light clearly marks the entrance to Marina la Figueirette, guiding vessels safely into the harbor and preventing groundings. Its distinct structure and directional flashes are a key feature along this stretch of coast.
