Ponta Verde Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Ponta Verde Lighthouse
This concrete, cylindrical tower stands 11 meters tall and was built in 1949. Its light flashes white once every 10 seconds from a focal height of 13 meters. The structure is a round masonry tower with a gallery, mounted on a concrete base, and features red and white horizontal bands. Located in the surf off Ponta Verde, a point of land in Maceió, Brazil, its unique placement makes it accessible only by boat. The lighthouse's first illumination was in 1922.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels approaching the Ponta Verde headland, guiding maritime traffic along the Maceió coastline.
