El Rincón Light is an active lighthouse completed in 1925 in the Villarino Partido of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Standing 62 meters (203 feet) tall, this concrete structure ranks as the nineteenth tallest traditional lighthouse in the world and represents one of the world's tallest concrete lighthouses. Positioned approximately 48 kilometers northeast of Pedro Luro on the Península Verde, it serves as a key navigational marker guarding a principal entrance to Bahía Blanca's seaport. The lighthouse has gained recognition beyond its maritime function, being commemorated on Argentine postage stamps issued in both 2006 and 2010.
