About Salvador South Breakwater Lighthouse
A red, cylindrical fiberglass tower stands 6 meters tall at the end of Salvador's south breakwater. The light has a focal height of 10 meters and emits a red flash every 3 seconds. This structure replaced an earlier hexagonal pyramidal concrete tower. The tower is located about 6 kilometers north of the Farol da Barra and 0.7 kilometers from the port of Salvador. Its geographic range is 10.4 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This light marks the extremity of the south breakwater, preventing vessels from colliding with the structure and ensuring clear access to Salvador's port.
