Ilha da Paz Lighthouse, Maritime navigation structure in São Francisco do Sul, Brazil
The Ilha da Paz Lighthouse is a white stone structure in São Francisco do Sul that rises above the keeper's residential quarters attached to its base. The tower was designed specifically to guide ships navigating into the harbor entrance.
The lighthouse began operations in 1906 as a navigation aid at the entrance to São Francisco do Sul harbor. Its construction marked an important development for maritime traffic in the region.
The Diretoria de Hidrografia e Navegação maintains this maritime structure as part of Brazil's network of coastal navigation beacons.
The best time to visit is during clear weather when visibility allows a good view of the structure. Visitors should be aware of the proximity to active harbor operations and respect areas where ships may be moving.
The lighthouse signal follows a specific rhythm of light and darkness that helps ships identify it under various conditions. This rhythmic pattern is essential for safe navigation in the region.
