Morro Jable Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Morro Jable, Spain
Morro Jable Lighthouse is a white cylindrical tower located on the southern coast of Fuerteventura, equipped with a balcony and lantern positioned at its upper section. The structure rises prominently from the flat terrain and remains visible from the surrounding beach area.
The lighthouse began operating in 1996 as part of a broader modernization effort for maritime navigation systems throughout the Canary Islands. Since then it has worked to improve safety for vessels traveling along this stretch of coast.
The lighthouse is recognized by locals and visitors as a natural landmark that defines the shoreline, serving as a familiar point of reference throughout the day.
The lighthouse is easy to locate from a distance due to its height and white color, making navigation to the site straightforward. Afternoon visits offer better lighting conditions to view the structure and observe the surrounding coastline.
Nearby sits a protected wetland area recognized as an international bird sanctuary, which draws a variety of wildlife to the region. This natural space is often overlooked by visitors even though it offers its own rewards for those who notice it.
