Île Tamara lighthouse

The white lighthouse structure rises 10 meters high on a large boulder, featuring a red balcony and lantern at its summit

The maritime beacon began its operation in 1906 on the outermost island of Îles de Los to guide vessels approaching Conakry harbor.

Local fishermen from coastal communities depend on this navigation aid to safely return home after their extended fishing expeditions at sea.

The lighthouse emits a white flash every five seconds and maintains visibility up to 26 nautical miles due to its 95-meter focal plane elevation.

The lighthouse's position atop a natural boulder formation increases its effective height, making it visible from greater distances across the ocean.
