About Punta Sama Lighthouse
Also known as: Punta Sama (Morro de Sama)
The Punta Sama lighthouse, established in 2009, is situated on coastal elevations near Morro de Sama, roughly 40 km northwest of Boca del Rio. It is a 12-meter-high square concrete structure distinguished by black and white horizontal bands. The light source is positioned at a focal height of 37 meters, producing a white flash every 15 seconds (Fl W 15s) and covering a range of 16.6 nautical miles. Public access is permitted to the site, but not inside the tower. Ilo, located 34.6 km distant, is the closest port.
Why it matters: The Punta Sama lighthouse identifies the Morro de Sama headland, serving as a navigation aid for vessels in the Tacna region.
