About Yameto Lighthouse
Yameto lighthouse is a concrete mast positioned just off the beach at the southern entrance to Bahía Santa María. It features a cylindrical tower, 10 meters high, painted with red and white horizontal bands. The light's focal plane is 13 meters above the water, emitting a white flash every 16 seconds. The structure is surrounded by a concrete enclosure, with its front wall also bearing red and white bands. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for vessels navigating the southern approach to Bahía Santa María, providing a clear signal for safe entry into the bay.
