Klein Curaçao Lighthouse, Historical lighthouse on Klein Curaçao Island, Caribbean Netherlands

Klein Curaçao Lighthouse is a circular masonry tower painted white, with a red lantern and gallery, rising 20 metres at the centre of the uninhabited island southeast of Curaçao. It adjoins two ruined two-storey keepers' buildings. Its focal height is 25 metres and it shows two white flashes every 15 seconds, visible up to 15 nautical miles.

A first tower was built in 1850 on Klein Curaçao, where the low island had caused repeated shipwrecks. It was destroyed by a hurricane and rebuilt in 1877, then rebuilt again in 1913. After years of abandonment, a solar-powered LED beacon was installed in 2008, flashing twice every 15 seconds.

The lighthouse is listed as a historic monument of Curaçao and is managed by the Curaçao Ports Authority in Willemstad. Its two ruined two-storey keepers' buildings stand beside the tower in the middle of the island. The lamp, powered by a solar installation added in 2008, flashes twice every 15 seconds.

Visitors reach this location through boat tours departing from Curaçao, with the journey taking around two and a half hours. Since the island is uninhabited, bring plenty of water and sun protection for your visit.

The tower is listed as a historic monument of Curaçao and is managed by the Curaçao Ports Authority in Willemstad. Its solar-powered LED beacon, installed in 2008 despite the building's ruined state, flashes two white bursts every 15 seconds and reaches 15 nautical miles.
