Active; focal plane 99 m (325 ft); four white flashes every 28 s. 16 m (52 ft) square cylindrical masonry tower with lantern and gallery, rising from the center of a long 1-story keeper's house. 2° (?) Fresnel lens. Building painted white with a red tile roof; lantern painted red. A good photo is available, João Paulino also has a photo, and Google has a satellite view. This is the landfall light for ships arriving in Flores from Portugal. Located atop a vertical cliff at the southeastern point of the island, about 1 km (0.6 mi) south of Lajes das Flores.
