Recife Lighthouse, Maritime navigation beacon in Recife, Brazil.
The white octagonal lighthouse tower stands 18 meters tall on the coast of Recife, with a light range spanning 17 nautical miles.
The maritime structure was constructed and first lit in 1822, serving as a critical navigational aid for ships entering the busy port of Recife.
The lighthouse marks the entrance to one of Brazil's principal northeastern ports, guiding vessels through the natural reefs that gave the city its name.
The lighthouse emits alternating white and red light signals every 12 seconds from its position at coordinates 8°3'16.45"S and 34°51'54.83"W.
The structure maintains an Admiralty number G0204 and functions with a focal height of 20 meters above the Atlantic Ocean.
