About Little Corn Island Lighthouse
Also known as: Little Corn Island (Isla Pequeña del Maíz)
A 15-meter tall, square pyramidal skeletal steel tower with a gallery stands on Little Corn Island, Nicaragua. This structure, painted red, houses a light with a focal height of 8 meters. The light emits a single white flash with no discernible interval. Its geographic range is 9 nautical miles. The nearest port, El Bluff, is 45.4 kilometers away across the Caribbean Sea.
Why it matters: This lighthouse was essential for local maritime traffic, particularly fishing boats and supply vessels, ensuring safe navigation around Little Corn Island's reefs and into its small harbor. While now inactive, it continues to serve as a significant landmark for the island's small community and a point of interest for tourists exploring this remote Caribbean destination.
