The Portofino Lighthouse is an active lighthouse located in Portofino. It was built in 1917, and it stands 12 meters high with a balcony and lantern attached to a keeper's house. Emitting a bright white flash every 5 seconds, the light can be seen up to 16 nautical miles away.

Since the lighthouse is not open to the public, there's not much to see nearby. You get to enjoy a beautiful view of the sea and the coast, but aside from that, there's not much here.

From Brown's Castle it takes about 10 minutes to reach the lighthouse. Here you'll find a bar, called Al Faro.

If you have limited time in Portofino, I don't think it's worth to come here.
