About Puerto Plata Sector Lighthouse
A square concrete pillar, standing 10 meters tall and 11 meters above sea level, marks the Puerto Plata Sector light. The tower displays narrow red and white horizontal bands.

Its light cycles through red, white, and green sectors, offering directional guidance to mariners. While the grounds are accessible, the tower is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This sector light serves as a leading aid for vessels entering the Puerto Plata harbor, guiding them to the main pier. Its distinct red, white, and green signals provide essential directional information for safe navigation within the harbor entrance.
