*NOTE*
This light appears to be on a military base. It does not appear to be open to access to regular visitors. The guard at the gate would not let me in or get someone who spoke English. Do not know what the visitation practices are, if someone finds out, please email me so i can update the entry. Best place to get a picture of it besides from the water would be at the public beach, N10 23.442 W75 32.878 or to the left of the gate.
Active; focal plane 24 m (79 ft); white flash every 7 s. 22 m (72 ft) unpainted concrete block tower with white lantern. Located at the end of a peninsula sheltering the inner harbor of Cartagena.
