About Peniche West Mole Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete lighthouse stands 8 meters tall with a focal height of 12 meters. It is painted with red and white horizontal bands, featuring a round conical tower that flares at the top. The light emits a red signal that flashes once every 3 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. Located at the end of the west mole in Peniche, Portugal, it is situated 0.1 kilometers from the nearest port. The structure serves as an active aid to navigation, guiding vessels through the coastal waters.
Why it matters: The light precisely marks the end of the west mole, preventing collisions with the breakwater and guiding vessels safely into Peniche harbor, especially the local fishing fleet.
