Nazaré North Mole Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Nazaré North Mole Lighthouse
A cylindrical concrete tower, standing 6 meters tall and painted with red and white horizontal bands, marks the north breakwater of Nazaré harbor. With a focal height of 9 meters, its light has a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. This modern navigational aid, operational since approximately 2014, emits a red light with a characteristic of one flash every 5 seconds. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed. The lighthouse is located 0.2 kilometers from the nearest port, also named Nazaré.
Why it matters: The lighthouse clearly marks the northern edge of the entrance channel to Nazaré harbor, aiding vessels in navigating the area and preventing collisions with the breakwater, particularly in challenging sea conditions.
