Punta Sardina Lighthouse, Maritime beacon in Sardina del Norte, Gran Canaria, Spain.

The cylindrical white tower with four red bands rises 24 meters high, featuring a grey metallic lantern dome at its summit point.

Originally constructed in 1891 as part of the Canary Islands maritime lighting plan, the current structure replaced its predecessor in 1985.

The lighthouse location influenced the development of local industries, including cochineal production, sugar mills, banana plantations, and fishing activities.

The beacon projects four white light flashes every twenty seconds, reaching a visibility range of 20 nautical miles from its 47-meter elevation.

Natural pools formed by ocean currents surround the lighthouse base, creating water mirrors in blue, green, and ochre colors against the rocks.
