About Luís Correia Lighthouse
Also known as: Luís Correia (Ponta de Itaqui)
The Luís Correia lighthouse, first illuminated in 1917, features a white cylindrical tower marked with one red horizontal band. This 14-meter concrete and fiberglass structure rises to a focal plane of 29 meters. It succeeded a 20-meter skeletal tower that was erected in 1948. The current tower is supported by a square, single-story concrete equipment building. Its light produces a white flash every five seconds (Fl W 5s). The structure is located on a headland near the town of Luís Correia, with a large dune field behind it.
Why it matters: This navigation aid assists vessels traveling along the coast, indicating the headland near Luís Correia and the port of Camocim, located 43.1 km away.
