About Recife Banco Inglês Breakwater South Head Lighthouse
This square concrete tower stands 7 meters tall, with its light positioned 12 meters above sea level. It is painted with red and white horizontal bands and is located at the south end of the detached Banco Inglês Breakwater. The structure protects the entrance to Recife, with the nearest port just 0.4 kilometers away. Its geographic range is 11 nautical miles, and it emits a red flash every 6 seconds. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The light marks the southern extremity of the Banco Inglês Breakwater, warning vessels of its presence and guiding them into Recife's port.
