About Puerto del Buceo East Breakwater Lighthouse
The Puerto del Buceo East Breakwater light is a square skeletal tower painted red, standing 8 meters tall. It is situated at the end of the east breakwater in Puerto del Buceo, Uruguay. With a focal height of 7.5 meters, the light emits a red flash every 5 seconds. Its geographic range extends to 9.5 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, though the tower structure itself is closed to the public. This navigation aid is located near the port of Punta Carretas, approximately 2.2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This light marks the eastern edge of the channel into Puerto del Buceo, a significant recreational and fishing port, and helps prevent vessels from striking the breakwater.
