The Pointe de la Tour lighthouse was built and first lit in 1957. This cylindrical, white tower, standing 12 meters tall, features a green lantern. Its light, positioned 90 meters above sea level, emits four white flashes every 12 seconds and has a geographic range of 23.8 nautical miles. The lighthouse rises from a keeper's house and is located on the slope of a headland about 6 km northwest of Safi. The structure is part of a military base, making it inaccessible to the public.
