About Piriápolis Outer Breakwater) Lighthouse
This operational lighthouse is situated on the outer breakwater of Piriápolis, Uruguay. The structure is a square skeletal tower painted red, standing 8.5 meters tall. Its light, red in color, emits a single red flash every 5 seconds and has a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. The focal height of the light is 10 meters above sea level. Visitors can access the site but not the tower itself.
Why it matters: The light's red flash marks the outer edge of the breakwater, guiding vessels safely into the port of Piriápolis and preventing groundings in this busy harbor approach.
