Faro Punta Palmar, Maritime lighthouse in Punta del Diablo, Rocha, Uruguay.

Faro Punta Palmar is a 12-metre cylindrical fibreglass tower with four white and three red bands, standing on a concrete base amid coastal aloes at Punta Palmar, Rocha. Its light, flashing every six seconds, reaches 8.8 nautical miles; the tower rises 21 metres above sea level.

The lighthouse entered service in 1977 at Punta Palmar, on the Atlantic coast of Rocha department, the same spot also known as Punta del Diablo. It was automated from the start, running on acetylene gas and later converted to solar panel power. It is listed as a monument of maritime heritage, and its international codes are Admiralty G 0660 and NGA 19020.

The lighthouse is listed as a monument of maritime heritage. Its name comes from Punta Palmar, the headland also known as Punta del Diablo, and the tower is surrounded by the aloes typical of this stretch of Rocha coast.

The site is closed to visitors and the tower stands on private property, so it cannot be approached; it is best seen from the beach at Punta del Diablo, on Playa de la Viuda. The 12-metre tower rises 21 metres above sea level, with a flash every six seconds.

The tower is not stone but fibreglass, assembled in four white and three red bands on a concrete base, with coastal aloes growing around it. It has been automatic since 1977, first running on acetylene gas and now on solar panels. Its light shows one flash every six seconds and reaches 8.8 nautical miles; the site is closed and stands on private land.
