Cape Beddouza Lighthouse

The Cape Beddouza Lighthouse is a navigation beacon in Safi Province that rises 18 meters high with its light reaching across a wide stretch of the Atlantic coast. The structure stands on a rocky headland and is oriented to project its signals far into the ocean for maritime safety.

The structure was built in 1916 as part of Morocco's maritime infrastructure development along the Atlantic coast. For more than a century, it has guided vessels safely past the rocky shoreline.

The lighthouse sits prominently on a rocky headland and serves as a familiar landmark for fishermen and seafarers who have used this coast for generations. For local communities, it remains a symbol of their maritime identity and their deep connection to the ocean.

The lighthouse is accessible from the landside and can be viewed from outside, with the best views during daylight hours. Visitors should be prepared for uneven terrain and windy conditions that are common at this exposed headland location.

The structure retains its original architecture from the early 20th century, making it an authentic example of maritime construction techniques of that era. These original features have rarely been preserved as many other lighthouses were modernized or rebuilt.
