Overview

Sero Colorado Lighthouse, or Colorado Point Lighthouse, is perched on the southeasternmost point of Aruba. The original lighthouse, constructed in 1881, was built from stone and wood. Today, the lighthouse is a metal structure that serves as one of the island's two active lighthouses, warning maritime traffic of nearby reefs.While the lighthouse itself isn't open for tours, the site is accessible and offers panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. The landscape is characterized by rugged terrain, with crashing waves against the rocky shore. The area around Colorado Point also holds historical significance. During World War II, the point was fortified with military defense zones and bunkers to protect the nearby oil refinery.Visitors can explore the area, hike along scenic paths, and enjoy the tranquility of this less-visited part of Aruba. The lighthouse is a great spot for photography, especially at sunset.
