About Pedra da Baleia Lighthouse
The Pedra da Baleia lighthouse stands on a cylindrical stone tower standing 4 meters tall, with its light positioned 5 meters above the water. Located on a rock off Ponta Santa Luzia, it is accessible only by boat. This active light emits a white flash every six seconds, visible for a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles. The masonry tower, originally green, is now painted white. The nearest port is Tubarao, 2.1 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for local maritime traffic, guiding vessels safely past the specific rock formation it occupies off Ponta Santa Luzia. Its consistent white flash every six seconds provides a reliable navigational reference point in an area that would otherwise pose a greater risk to coastal shipping.
