Porto Seguro Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Porto Seguro, Brazil
The Porto Seguro Lighthouse stands 12 meters tall with white and red stripes, providing navigation guidance along the Brazilian coastline through its distinct light pattern.
The lighthouse, established in 1907 and operational since 1947, marks an area where Portuguese explorers first landed on Brazilian shores in the year 1500.
The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Porto Seguro, connecting modern navigation needs with centuries of seafaring heritage along the Brazilian coast.
Located at 57 meters above sea level with a range of 21 nautical miles, the lighthouse emits three white and red flashes every 30 seconds to guide vessels.
The structure serves as a primary navigation point for ships while offering visitors panoramic views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Porto Seguro's historical district.
