About Ría de Pontevedra North Side Lighthouses Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete lighthouse, standing 6 meters tall, guides vessels on the north side of the Ría de Pontevedra. It is painted white with a green band encircling the top of the structure, which includes a lantern and gallery. The light emits a single red flash every 5 seconds from a focal height of 7 meters, providing a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles. Located on a marina wharf at Sanxenxo, the site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port, Sanxenxo, is just 0.1 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse serves as a critical marker for vessels entering and leaving the busy Sanxenxo marina, helping them navigate safely within the Ría de Pontevedra.
