Mostardas Lighthouse, Maritime beacon in Mostardas, Brazil

The white cylindrical lighthouse structure reaches 38 meters in height and guides ships along the South Atlantic Ocean through four intermittent light signals every 40 seconds.

The Brazilian maritime authorities established this navigation beacon in 1940 to enhance safety for vessels traveling near the Rio Grande do Sul coast.

The lighthouse serves as a central point for local fishermen who gather near its base to share maritime knowledge and discuss daily weather patterns.

Maritime vessels can detect the lighthouse signal from up to 40 nautical miles away, with enhanced navigation through the racon signal C system.

The structure stands near Lagoa do Peixe National Park, where numerous water birds migrate and rest throughout different seasons.
