    Also known as the San Cristóbal lighthouse, so called because of the point where it stands, it is located behind the "Farola" beach. In the same place there was previously, in 1866, another smaller lighthouse, which fell into disuse due to its short range in 1905, when this new, higher tower was inaugurated, raising the light from 12.6 to 21 metres at present.

    The present lighthouse consists of a square building with a porch facing the sea and an external tower, topped by a silver dome, attached to the side wall. In addition to its function as a guide, since 1981 it has housed the collection of the Museum of the Sea.
