El Rincón Light, lighthouse on Península Verde, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina

Faro El Rincón is a coastal lighthouse with a tapered concrete tower marked by bold black and white horizontal stripes. The structure stands on the shoreline near Bahía Blanca and serves as an important navigational marker for vessels approaching the region.

The lighthouse was built on four hectares of land donated to the Ministry of the Navy by Adolfo Luro. Its light originally burned oil, later acetylene gas, and in 1980 an autonomous electric system was installed. It marks the entrance to the Puerto Belgrano naval base and Bahía Blanca.

The lighthouse received recognition through two dedicated postal stamps issued by Argentina, first in 2006 and subsequently in 2010.

The lighthouse is located directly on the coast and is visible from nearby roads, though access to the interior may be restricted. Visitors should prepare for windy and potentially wet conditions typical of this coastal area.

The light was first fuelled by petroleum, later by acetylene gas, and only in 1980 received an autonomous electric system. The four hectares of land were donated to the Ministry of the Navy by Adolfo Luro.
