About El Puerto de Santa María Lighthouse Lighthouse
El Puerto de Santa María Lighthouse is a stucco-clad harbor control tower painted a very light yellow, standing 23 meters tall. It is located at the end of the breakwater that shelters Puerto Sherry, a large yacht basin west of the Río Guadalete's mouth. This modern port faces the historic city of Cádiz across the water. The lighthouse displays a red occulting light that flashes once every 4 seconds. While the tower is closed to the public, the site is open, allowing visitors to walk to its base along the pier. It is operated by Puerto Sherry and has a geographic range of 13.8 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding yachts and other vessels safely into Puerto Sherry, a significant recreational marina on the Río Guadalete. Its position at the end of the breakwater warns against hazards at the harbor entrance.
