Pedra Seca Lighthouse

Pedra Seca Lighthouse is a 15-meter-tall navigation structure standing at the entrance to the Paraíba River, guiding ships with three white flashes every ten seconds. The structure can be seen by vessels across a wide maritime area.

The structure was built in 1973 and has marked the entrance to Cabedelo's port since then. Its construction occurred during a period of maritime development along the Paraíba coast.

The lighthouse serves as a familiar landmark for local fishing crews who navigate these waters daily. For the maritime community here, it remains a dependable reference point during their work at sea.

The lighthouse is visible from the water and serves seafarers as a visual navigation signal when approaching the port. Visitors should understand this is an active navigation aid and is best viewed from the water or at a safe distance from shore.

The light signals follow a precise rhythm of three flashes every ten seconds, making it easy for sailors to recognize the signal even in darkness or poor conditions. This regular pattern helps captains confirm the exact location of the port entrance.
