About Praia do Futuro Lighthouse
Also known as: #Praia do Futuro
This navigational aid is situated at the end of a terminal groin projecting eastward from the Ponta do Mucuripe. The current light displays a white flash every 10 seconds from a focal height of 11 meters. It replaced an earlier, more substantial structure, which was a 6-meter tall, square cylindrical brick tower painted with black and white horizontal bands. The site, located near Fortaleza, is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted. The light has a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The light is essential for guiding vessels around the Ponta do Mucuripe, a significant coastal feature.
