Calcanhar Lighthouse

Calcanhar Lighthouse (Portuguese: Farol do Calcanhar), also known as Touros Lighthouse and formerly named Olhos D'Agua,[3] is an active lighthouse in Touros, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

[4][5][6] The lighthouse is strategically placed on the beach of the Ponta de Calcanhar, near Touros, where the Brazilian coast forms a right angle, known as “Esquina do Brasil” (Corner of Brazil) or "Esquina do Continente" (Corner of the continent), near the northern end of the great curve of the Cape of São Roque, the northeastern shoulder of South America.

It alerts ships to a coral reef located about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) offshore.
