About Praia da Aguda Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse stands 8 meters tall on a stepped-pyramidal tower. It is painted with horizontal bands of red and white. The light emits a red flash every 8 seconds. The structure is situated at the end of a groin on Aguda beach, approximately 8 kilometers south of the Rio Douro entrance. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light serves local fishing boats and recreational vessels, marking the hazardous end of the groin at Aguda beach. Its red and white banding provides a distinct visual landmark.
