About Puerto Cabezas Lighthouse
Also known as: Puerto Cabezas (Bragman Bluff)
A square skeletal concrete tower with a gallery stands 19 meters tall in Puerto Cabezas. Its light, situated 70 meters above sea level, emits a single white flash every 2.5 seconds, visible for over 21 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located on a bluff overlooking the sea, near the city's long pier. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Puerto Cabezas, just 0.5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for maritime traffic approaching Puerto Cabezas, a regional capital that lacks a protected natural harbor, guiding vessels to the city's docks.
