About Isla Partida Lighthouse

Also known as: Isla Partida (Los Islotes)

A 12-meter-high, square skeletal metal tower painted white, equipped with a gallery, is situated on Isla Lobos. This tower marks the northern entry to the Bay of La Paz. The light displays a white flash every 10 seconds. Its focal plane is 40 meters above sea level, and it has a visibility range of 17.1 nautical miles. A secondary, older skeletal tower is also found nearby.

Why it matters: This lighthouse serves as a navigation aid for vessels entering and exiting the Bay of La Paz, an important area for local boats and recreational craft. Its position on Isla Lobos allows ships to accurately follow the northern channel, steering clear of dangers in this active marine zone.
