About Mar del Plata South Breakwater Lighthouse
This green, cylindrical concrete tower stands 10 meters tall, with its focal plane 15 meters above the water. It was built in 2009 and is situated at the end of the south breakwater in Mar del Plata, Argentina. The structure rests on a large masonry observation platform. The light emits an isophase green flash every 2 seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The tower itself is closed to the public, though the site is accessible.
Why it matters: This light guides vessels entering or leaving the port of Mar del Plata, clearly marking the end of the south breakwater.
