About Piedra de Media Mar Lighthouse
The Piedra de Media Mar lighthouse is a black cylindrical tower with a single red horizontal band, standing 13 meters tall. It is situated on a reef in the center of the Ría de Cedeira, approximately 0.7 kilometers from the port of Cedeira. This structure emits a white flash every 7 seconds, with its light visible for 11.6 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed. Its placement within the estuary serves to mark the reef and guide vessels.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe navigation within the Ría de Cedeira, specifically marking the submerged reef where it stands and preventing groundings in the central part of the estuary.
