About Ponta da Calheta Range Rear Lighthouse
This square pyramidal concrete tower, painted white, stands 5 meters tall. It is located in Vitória, Brazil, 55 meters southeast of its corresponding front light. The tower emits a white occulting light with a 2-second period, visible for 8.4 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed. This structure functions as the rear light for a navigational range, guiding vessels along the Brazilian coast.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is critical for defining a safe navigational range, guiding vessels precisely along a specific course into or out of a local port or channel. Its precise alignment with a front light ensures efficient maritime traffic flow in the Ponta da Calheta area.
