About Punta Arena Bianca Lighthouse
Punta Arena Bianca is an active lighthouse on Linosa, an island in Sicily. The structure consists of a post standing atop a square stone tower that measures 6 meters in height. Its light is positioned 9 meters above sea level and emits a white flash every 5 seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles. This lighthouse was constructed on the foundations of an earlier structure, indicating a long history of maritime guidance at this location. The tower is located 0.6 kilometers from the nearest port, Linosa.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for local fishing boats and other small craft navigating the often-rocky waters off Linosa's southwestern tip. Its white flash every five seconds provides a clear reference point, helping to avoid potential hazards along this specific stretch of coastline.
