Klein Curaçao Lighthouse

The coral pink lighthouse rises 20 meters above the uninhabited island's terrain, marking maritime routes through the Caribbean waters since its construction.

Built in 1850, the structure served as a critical navigation point for ships traversing dangerous reefs, preventing numerous potential shipwrecks in the area.

The lighthouse represents maritime heritage on Klein Curaçao, an island that previously served as a quarantine station for the Dutch West India Company.

Visitors reach the lighthouse through boat tours from Curaçao, with trips taking approximately two and a half hours to arrive at the southeastern island.

The structure stands as the sole remaining building alongside a burial ground marked by a cross on this remote Caribbean island.
