About Segunda Angostura Lighthouse
Also known as: Segunda Angostura (Second Narrows)
This octagonal concrete tower stands 6 meters tall and is painted white with a red horizontal band. Its focal height reaches 20 meters above sea level, and it emits a white light with a flash every 10 seconds. The lighthouse is situated on the south side of the eastern entrance to the Second Narrows of the Strait. This location is where the strait widens into the Bajo Satelite, a sound approximately 30 kilometers in diameter, positioned between the First and Second Narrows. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels safely through the Second Narrows of the Strait, particularly as they transition into or out of the wider Bajo Satelite sound. Its light helps mariners navigate the complex geography of this critical shipping lane.
