El Rincón Light, Coastal lighthouse in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
The El Rincón Light features a tapered cylindrical concrete tower with black and white horizontal bands reaching 203 feet into the sky.
Built in 1925, this maritime structure guards the principal entrance to the seaport of Bahía Blanca, located 30 miles southwest of Pedro Luro.
The lighthouse received recognition through two dedicated postal stamps issued by Argentina, first in 2006 and subsequently in 2010.
The light beam from El Rincón extends 29 nautical miles across the water, following a specific pattern denoted as Fl (2+1) W 40s.
Standing as the nineteenth tallest traditional lighthouse worldwide, this concrete structure maintains its position among the most substantial of its kind.
