Farol do Macuti, Portuguese lighthouse in Beira, Mozambique.

Farol do Macuti stands at Macuti, about 2.2 km east-northeast of the point of the same name near Beira. Its conical tower rises from a two-storey building, painted in horizontal red and white bands, with two galleries and a lantern, all in red. It is the only lighthouse in Mozambique installed close to a city.

The structure was built in 1904 during Portuguese colonial rule as part of developing maritime infrastructure along the African coast. It has stood ever since, showing how long this navigation aid has guided ships through the waters near Beira.

The lighthouse represents the maritime architecture that Portugal left along the east African coast. Local people and visitors recognize this white and red structure as a link to the seafaring history that shaped the port city.

The structure is visible from outside and marks a central point on the coast that helps with orientation. The white and red coloring makes it easy to spot the lighthouse from a distance and use it as a landmark.

The lighthouse ranks among the few still-functioning structures from the colonial era that have survived along the Mozambican coast. Its continuous operation over many decades makes it a particular testament to the region's maritime history.
