Beacon of Home cape

Beacon of Home cape, Coastal beacon in Santo André do Hío, Spain.

Beacon of Home cape is a white coastal signal structure located on the Atlantic shore near Santo André do Hío in Galicia. The building sits on a rocky outcrop and emits regular light signals during nighttime hours to aid navigation.

The beacon was established to guide vessels through treacherous waters along the Galician Atlantic coast. Over time the installation was modernized and now operates through automated systems.

The tower is painted white with two blue bands, one at the top of the base building and one at the gallery, a detail visible from the coastal path. Its lantern sits atop a short mast on the gallery, with the technical room at the foot of the tower. Together with the Punta Subrido light 815 metres away it forms a range marking the northern entrance to the Ría de Vigo.

The tower stands on the western tip of Cabo Home, about 8 km from Cangas de Morrazo and 815 m from the Punta Subrido lighthouse, which together mark the northern entrance to the Ría de Vigo. The site is reached on foot along coastal paths; the terrain is rocky, so sturdy footwear helps. The light shines white every 3 seconds, visible between bearings 90° and 180°.

The light is a white flash every 3 seconds, visible up to 9 nautical miles in the 90°–180° sector. Its lantern sits 38 m above the sea on an 18 m cylindrical white tower with two blue bands, one at the top of the base room and one at the gallery.
