About Puerto Escondido East Lighthouse
This 7.5 meter cylindrical concrete lighthouse stands on an arm of the mainland opposite the west breakwater at the entrance to Puerto Escondido. It features a spiral stairway for access. The light emits a single red flash every 5 seconds, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The operational lighthouse is accessible to the public, but the tower itself is closed. Its position helps guide vessels navigating into the bay.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe navigation into Puerto Escondido, a significant port on Mexico's Pacific coast. Its distinctive red flash specifically guides vessels past the mainland arm and the west breakwater, preventing groundings and ensuring smooth entry into the harbor.
