About Punta Caxinas Lighthouse
Also known as: Punta Caxinas (Cabo de Honduras)
This 15-meter steel cylindrical tower, standing 23 meters above sea level, is painted with red and white horizontal bands. It is located at the extremity of a peninsula that extends westward, forming a shelter for Bahía de Trujillo near Puerto Castilla. The lighthouse emits a white flash every seven seconds, visible for 13.8 nautical miles. This structure guides vessels navigating the waters of Colón, Honduras. It is an active aid to navigation.
Why it matters: Punta Caxinas warns mariners of the peninsula's end, facilitating safe passage into Bahía de Trujillo and serving the nearby port of Puerto Castilla.
