Faro da Illa de Ons

The stone lighthouse rises 12 meters above Ons Island, featuring a first-order Fresnel lens with a focal height of 127 meters above sea level.

The Port Authority of Marín and Ría de Pontevedra constructed this maritime navigation structure in 1865 to guide vessels through the North Atlantic waters.

The lighthouse forms part of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia Natural Park, representing the connection between maritime safety and environmental conservation.

The light pattern follows a Fl(4) W 24s sequence, making it visible from 25 nautical miles away to assist mariners in identifying their position.

The structure stands adjacent to zones of marine biodiversity, serving both as a navigational beacon and a vantage point for observing ocean wildlife.
